No really. Doesn’t the traditional way of doing it have something to do with chewing and swallowing? Who on Mars cares how you get to that stage? Personally, I have never been one of the masters of soo-aaa-vve. Forget about clean and mess-free handling of the spoon, fork, chopsticks, knives (and god knows what else they put next to the food to see what you can manage with your hands), getting those oversized burgers to fit in my mouth without slurping and splattering their ill-packed innards all over my civilized company is challenge enough.

Am all for the viking/ pirate/ semi-human barbarian way of handling yourself at the table. Stuff it, chew it to pulp (or don’t - your call) and swallow before going back to step one.

Am blogging from Hyderabad. Will be back in Mumbai on Tuesday.
