How Asians Use A Spoon & Fork 👨🚀 Living In The Future
▶️ Watch on 3Speak
Asians are living in the future when it comes to the use of a spoon and fork to eat a meal. If your from the western hemisphere, there's a great chance you're not using these utensils in the most efficient way possible.
HINT 🤫 YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG
The video speaks for itself, but to get straight to the point, if the food you're eating is entering your mouth via a fork, you're probably doing it wrong. Of course I'm being sarcastic and humorous in this post....there is definitely no wrong way to eat, unless you're trying to put your food in your eye.
What I mean to say is Asians, but mostly Southeast Asians, have been using European eating utensils far more efficiently than the western hemisphere will ever catch up to. Watch the video to learn a simple technique for eating any meal that's not noodles. It's not rocket science, but I am still shocked by how many of fellow human beings lack the hand-eye coordination to eat in the future.
I hope no one is offended in this video, I'm just joking around and having fun, but if you haven't used a spoon and fork to eat fried rice like a real Southeast Asian, you need to try it at least once.
🙏 THANKS FOR READING 🙏

Besides that fork and spoon usage being different in parts of SEA, they also tend to raise a soup bowl to their lips, like a large cup to sip the broth, which seems efficient.
As a child, I saw my Chinese friend and his family eat soup that way... when I copied the technique at home, my mother yelled at me😕 "PUT THAT DOWN AND USE A SPOON- like you're supposed too..."!!! I laugh about it now.
She was raised in the strict (Prim and Proper) New England style during the 1930's in America.
Soup culture varies from country to country in Southeast Asia, but you're right, in general sipping form the bowl is no problem. Also, it's very common to lift a soup bowl from the table and bring it halfway to the mouth to take getting the last morsels with chopsticks more possible.
I know in some countries slurping soup is a sign of respect and that the soup is delicious. I will never adapt to violently slurping soup though. !ENGAGE 50
Yes... and belching at the table after a meal...😕
ENGAGEtokens.Prior to moving to SEA I was a knife and fork guy, spoons were reserved for cereal and soup. Now that I have been here a while it makes a whole lotta sense to me to eat food the way the locals do.
But it has a lot to do with rice being a staple I think because have you ever tried to eat rice with a fork? Doesn't work out so well.
Rice is the worst possible food to try and stack on a fork. I see it in the USA, Ecuador, and even here in Suriname. What I love most is the look on my wife's face when she's served a fried rice with only a fork or fork and knife combo. It should only take one try to realize a knife is not designed to help push rice onto a fork, a utensil which has rice-sized gaps in it.
When I explain to Cambodians how most Americans poop and deal with their butt-stuff, they are revolted. We have a lot of catching up to do, and only when westerners are blasting their booties with a bum gun and eating rice with a spoon will the world ever find peace. !ENGAGE 35
Friends of mine that have returned to USA install bum guns in their bathrooms, the only problem being that most of the bathrooms back in the states are not "wet bathrooms" so it can cause structural damage if there is a leak. After living overseas for a while I can't understand why the bathrooms in the west are not wet bathrooms. My parents had bathrooms that were carpeted! How dirty is that carpet?
I grew up in a home with a carpeted bathroom. My parents once caught me sleepwalking at the age of 6, and I was peeing in the wicker basket trashcan (it didn't have a trashbag in it) in the bathroom .
ENGAGEtokens.I always eat my rice with a spoon - after you've been travelling in SE Asia, the penny drops. It's so much better!!!
Well, no need to welcome you to the future. That being said, Australians should know how to use these utensils properly before any other westerners because geographically you're basically in Indonesia. I cringe every time I see someone struggling to bring a fork to their mouth with a pile of food precariously balanced on it. !ENGAGE 10
ENGAGEtokens.I have only seen one real bidet in my life. That was when I was a teen visiting my friends large Italian house. I couldn't figure it out.
Last winter in Asia, particularly Thailand, we noticed the hose in every toilet. Not one was without. After months of this we had to go back to Canada and were feeling weird about not having one anymore. Marc said basically what you said. We clean everything with water not paper.
The knife and fork routine was introduced to me by Marc's German parents. I used to get in trouble for not setting the table correctly. I grew up getting the food to my mouth any way that it would get there. I can't stand the formal dining environment. I learned how to use chopsticks not too long ago. I try and try then just grab a fork.
I really enjoyed your video!
Sitting on a bidet makes you feel like a victim, I'd much rather have the butt blaster and control of where the jet goes. That being said, water pressure is really unpredictable, and the cheaper butt blasters have little trigger finesse, making an accidental violent pressure-washer enema possible. !ENGAGE 70

From the begging you really make me laugh! Nyahahaha...
Speaking of spoon and fork? Well, I am using my hands! hahaha.
Really, I can't stop laughing! LOL
I like this video you have! Mostly, I am using chopsticks in pasta or even in rice. But wait? Washing your face in BIDET? Sometimes I am doing on purpose! LOL
I prefer bare hands with most Indian and Arabic style dishes. If it's Southeast Asian food, I have to have sticky rice and a thick curry if I am gonna eat it with my fingers. Shame Cambodia doesn't eat too much sticky rice, because that is well-suited for chopsticks.
I can't blame my friend, I might have just as likely been the one to assume the French bidet was some kind of elegant face-washing basin. Something about the fact you have get on your knees to use it made me think my intuition was wrong. !ENGAGE 25
ENGAGEtokens.Have you heard..?

Interesting, but certainly correlation is no indication of causation. After spending 10 years in Cambodia, one thing I don't trust are any statistics from that country. Even NGOs have a hard time collecting information in Cambodia due to government interference. Most of the country lives in the rice fields too, and those people are never included in any statistics.
We are so consumed by trying to survive day-to-day though, there is little time here to think of things beyond our front door. !ENGAGE 5
Word, i overstand...just had to think of y'all when i heard Cambodia.
My recommendation: Keep your own "temple" and those of your Fam away
from those #vaccines aka gene-therapy-experiments...
ENGAGEtokens.I really can't imagine eating Thai food any other way after years of using the fork to push the rice into the spoon. It seems odd at first to the newcomer but after a while, just like the "bum gun" in the bathrooms, it just makes sense and I can't believe that we don't do this in the west.
For some people it's like to write left-handed. I once asked my Dad to try it at a Vietnamese restaurant in the USA. It was just too hard watching him struggle to eat rice with only a fork. I didn't realize it would be more painful to watchin him struggle with a spoon and fork. One business idea we have for the USA is to be door-to-door ass-blaster salespeople. !ENGAGE 25
ENGAGEtokens.Particularly like the phrase, don't have toilet paper and leave it there air dry. ROTFFLMFAO
Air-drying is sometimes the only way to go for weeks at a time. !ENGAGE 15
ENGAGEtokens.Exactly buddy! Spade and shovels! That's how they exist in all of our life.
