@bolex, yup, me too, I heard that one too. In fact this is the way I heard it, that in the olden days, the way to catch a thieft was to give them food, and that theives usually eat the meat first, and that for example the thief was given rice and whatever, he would use his hand to pickout/eat the meat(not a spoon) before using the spoon to eat the rice. So till today, i eat my food first and even if its the meat left, i still use my spoon/fork to pick my meat, Although i know it isnt true, i just can't use my hand to pick meat and eat, except i have to consiously force myself, what a world!!! just so funny how those their little tricks stuck in my head |

I think it's like this; Eating the meat last during meals is a trick employed by parents to motivate kids to finish their meals. Most kids feast themselves on biscuits and confectionaries which have very little good nutritional value. During the main meals they tend to be picky and reluctant to eat. Hence, when u give a child a plate of (say) rice with a lump of chicken in it, the chicken usually is the main attraction, but is presented by the parents as a prize for finishing the food. Hence the tradition to leave the meat till the very end. I still do that myself, consciously or unonsciously Life's like that u know |
