Arabs have a special way of eating. They usually sit on the floor, break bread into small pieces or knead rice into small balls, pinch them with a few fingers of their right hand and send them into their mouths. Even dishes with soup can be eaten completely.
In fact, eating by hand is not an exclusive "patent" for Arabs. There are hundreds of millions of people who eat with their hands all over the world, and their lives can extend from North Africa to the South Asian subcontinent.
2. India
Most Indians only use three fingers when grabbing rice, namely thumb, forefinger and middle finger. They first use these three fingers to stretch out and press on the edge of the bread to form a trident, then the middle finger bends and holds the cake motionless, and the thumb and forefinger tear off a small piece of bread together, and then the three fingers work together to wrap the dish with the cake, just like eating Beijing roast duck, and finally pinch it and send it to the mouth. The pinching action is just like pinching things with pliers.
Extended data
Besides bread, the staple food of Indians is rice. When eating rice, first use those three fingers to mix the rice and various vegetable soups evenly, just like a blender mixing cement, and then pick up a small pile and send it to your mouth.
Some people's fingers are not very flexible, so they go into battle with five fingers. After eating, put greasy fingers into your mouth one by one to suck, and then lick them thoroughly before giving up. Eating with hands, like eating with chopsticks, knives and forks, is just a habit, and there is no distinction between elegance and vulgarity.
