It's a culture that has been inculcated in us right from childhood.I could remember when I was tender,if I eat the meat first,definitely,I will be scolded for that if my mum sees me.This is the same case as a child eating with a left hand.So,that's African culture and it has found a place to stay in our lives if not a habit now. |

The reason why people chew meat last is that it is traditionally a kind of home training thing in Nigeria. If you serve little kids their foods with meat on it, they tend to mess around with the food by eating the meat, probably a little more portion of the meal and mess around with the rest. So the parents usually use the rule to control the kids by saying "hey you must only eat the meat until you finish the whole food otherwise i would smack you ok!!!" Its a strong training from childhood so people grow up with it. |

You see this attitude started gradually in African Culture of siblings eating together. Since the meet would not be enough to go round each person/one, it was usually reserved until after eating, when the eldest will use teeth to share it amongst them. We inculcated this habit into our subconscious and grew with it, passing it from generation to generation. You fine out that the habit is still being practiced by the average and poor Nigerians, who have not tested the other side of life. Bur for those borne with the so called silver spoon in this modern age, meat is taken as food and is eating simultaneously. I think that is the reason. |

(1) Na poor people they eat meat or fish last for soup. Rich dont do that cos the meat and fish is always there. (2) It's childish behaviour, i used to do it when i was a child but now if i swallow like 5 balls or 5 spoons i'll cut a bit of the meat infact i prefer cutting my meat into little pieces, so that as am eating i'll be picking the meat into my mouth with the ball or spoon |

@Poster, you should have heard the saying "SAVING THE BEST FOR THE LAST" like most things in life the best moments are when its about to end. |

I think it is all about morals. When we are all growing up our parents will always tell us to finish the food before eating the meat. So the attitude have always been there since growing up. |

Well, that's very simple to figure out. It's similar to how couples start with kissing,and end with Bleep |
Re: Give Me A Good Reason Why People Chew Meat Last When Eating. by Nobody: 5:27pm On Jun 08, 2011 |
Because they want to save the best for last. |

When i was a child,i considered it a taboo to eat without seeing meat(s) in my food.Even if it means that i will end up not eating the meat,no problems.(that enables me eat my food well) But as an adult,i eat my meat along side the food.Immediately the stuff finishes,i'm done with the food. |
Re: Give Me A Good Reason Why People Chew Meat Last When Eating. by daroz(m): 6:11pm On Jun 08, 2011 |
For me, I think its a cultural thing. As a child, i was taught to eat without meat, infact the only meat we ate was the one given to us by our father during his own meal. He always make us believe that if a child has free access to meat on his food, he is most likely to end up stealing.( But of cos he gave us enough to prevent malnutrition). That is the discipline i grow up with. That is why up till now, if (God forbid) i am served food without meat, i will still be able to eat the food well without complain. Even during my NYSC period, when at times things look difficult, with that discpline i was able to survive the hardship. Basically, as for the habit of eating meat last during meal, i think the reason is becos meat is always considered more precious than the food, so pple prefare to reserve the best thing for the last. |
Re: Give Me A Good Reason Why People Chew Meat Last When Eating. by Nobody: 7:05pm On Jun 08, 2011 |
@topic cos its fun and satisfying. As for me these days I find out dat my meat finishes b4 d food cos i just cant wait to eat the meat. U know now, meat is sweet. But when i was younger i cldnt take meat until i had finished d food (literally). if u eat just little, u were not entitled to meat. Am sure d same happned 2 most pple. so they are kinda used 2 havin d meat as d reward 4 eating especiall solids.(okele) |
Re: Give Me A Good Reason Why People Chew Meat Last When Eating. by Nobody: 7:37pm On Jun 08, 2011 |
My mom wont let me eat my meat before finishing the food when i was small. I am used to it already now. its the way we are trained. nothing bad about it thou. the most mouth watering part is when u are moving the meat about in the plate and trying to eat the rice in the sides, yummy |
Re: Give Me A Good Reason Why People Chew Meat Last When Eating. by Maximip(m): 7:49pm On Jun 08, 2011 |
Deep Question I personally lose interest in the food once the meat is finished. So if I want to finish the meal, I need to stay away from the meat as much as possible unless the meat is the bulk of the meal. |
Re: Give Me A Good Reason Why People Chew Meat Last When Eating. by odumchi: 7:57pm On Jun 08, 2011 |
It's a sign of respect and humbleness. Children are told to finish food and eat meat last so they won't become greedy or focus only on the meat. And also meat fills the belly more than food and after eating meat, people tend to become full. |

mummy3: You must be a tiv, I heard that those guy eat pounded yam with only meat no soup. |
Re: Give Me A Good Reason Why People Chew Meat Last When Eating. by MaiSuya(m): 8:13pm On Jun 08, 2011 |
one the meat is gone, I lose interest in the food. in fact I'm not sure I can look at meatless plate of food, not to talk of eating it. (except I'm terribly famished) |
Re: Give Me A Good Reason Why People Chew Meat Last When Eating. by MaiSuya(m): 8:21pm On Jun 08, 2011 |
ojofu: that's not true. though I'm not Tiv, I'm in Tivland at the moment, and aside the fact that they don't even eat pounded yam all that much, akpu is their staple here, it is always eaten with soup. |
Re: Give Me A Good Reason Why People Chew Meat Last When Eating. by mamagee3(f): 8:23pm On Jun 08, 2011 |
It's because some people lose interest in the meat when the food is finished. . . I don't get why someone would eat his/her meat first before the food. . . |
