Bangladesh is on the verge of India, so the appearance and living habits of Bangladeshis are very Indian. For example, for food, there are pilaf, which Indians are also keen on.
After mixing by hand, put it directly into the mouth. Many people will find it incredible. The same is true for the children from Wanqing who enjoyed this delicacy with us this time.
She asked, Auntie, why do they eat with their hands? I replied, Bengali people admire their gods very much~ They think that food is bestowed by gods, so they should use the cleanest right hand to fetch and eat~
She asked, why use your right hand? I answer, um, this has to do with another habit of them! People in India and Bangladesh do not use paper in the toilet, but use their left hand to help clean. So, you have to use your right hand to eat~
As for the eating habits of countries such as India and Bangladesh, it seems that many people will sneer at it. Tong Ma believes that these have nothing to do with culture, quality, education, and class, but just a different way of life. This is the difference in the way of thinking. There is nothing to blame, and others don’t necessarily have to live according to your ideas.
Moreover, grabbing food with your hands has a sense of pleasure and comfort, which is a kind of enjoyment in life. Look at the little babies, they all like to eat with their hands, which shows that this is a human nature.
For this Bangladeshi dinner, I also asked all participants to wash their hands and enjoy this risotto in the custom of Bangladesh.
Uncle Xiang said, hey, don't say it, it's delicious to eat with your hands! O(∩_∩)O haha~
