Do people never eat using their hands?

In my country, we usually always eat everything using our hands..but outside my country it seems people only use spoons, forks and knifes etc for eating..i mean they don't even consider using hands as an option. Why is it that? Whats wrong in using your hands provided you washed them properly?? 🤷‍♀️

It depends on what you’re eating. In the U.S. there are finger foods, bread, pizza, chicken, corn on the cob, hot dogs, hamburgers, fries, etc. Do you eat soup and salads with your hands ? Why can’t folks observe their culture in their way and respect that others may do things differently ? Neither way is wrong.

@21stwolf How do you eat rice with your hands ? Do you use a bread, or a tortilla, or injera, for example ?
