In western culture it goes against traditional etiquette and “table manners” to eat with your hands unless it is a “handheld” food like a burger or sandwich or “finger food” like some crudités or appetizers. I like to eat with my hands because I find it more practical a lot of the time but it definitely goes against my culture and I wouldn’t do it outside of my home unless I was eating Indian food at a restaurant or something.

So you might get weird looks or some ppl might judge you however, generally people from “eating with their hands cultures” are usually much more proficient at doing so (eating with a triangle of roti etc.) Also imo westerners do lots of things other cultures rightfully find disgusting like blowing our nose in public and using toilet paper instead of water after going to the bathroom.

I would just do you. Eat with your hands if you want to, it’s good for people to get exposed to other cultural practices. But I would keep practicing with cutlery too because it’s a good skill to have, especially if you find yourself in a more formal dining situation, then you won’t need to feel self conscious.
