Foreign Foods You’re Eating Wrong

How to eat in the proper, authentic way...
Sagemindsays...

I was at a Sushi shop lately that had all those sushi eating rules posted at every table. There are socially right and wrong ways to eat something. Why assume that you know how to act in another culture when it's different from yours.

I agree, eat how you want, but at a restaurant, you should be using the correct etiquette.

I've eaten sushi in Japan and the diners at my table (mostly Japanese) broke all of those rules, every single one of them. There were as many different ways to eat sushi as there were people sitting around the table.

Watching people trying to eat Sushi with chopsticks is hilarious tho.

But yah. I've never been to an Indian restaurant that expected you to ignore the cutlery they'd provided.

food evolves of course. but e.g sushi has some sense to it. The rice should be loosely packed so that you can pick it up with a finger and thumb. Yo shushi etc have evolved to make a denser rice package which doesn't fall apart when you pick it up with chopsticks. Its because a) people don't know the original intention and b) western culture seems to prohibit touching the food with fingers (unless it's bread, chicken or ribs)

Engelssays...

I take particular issue with the notion of an 'authentic' taco. There's too much texmex and otherwise 'americanized' latino cuisine in the US to justify the imposition of traditional mexican cooking styles upon the US's culinary patterns.
