Forget all that time you spent trying to learn how to use chopsticks without looking like an idiot.
“You’re supposed to pick it with the fingers. Not with chopsticks or worse still, a fork! I believe there’s a good reason for that. When trying to pick the sushi with chop sticks, given the fact that the fish isn’t stuck to the rice cake, there’s a decent chance that they may get separated with the rice falling off. Worse still if that happens when dipping it in soy sauce. Fingers get a much better grip. (But fresh sashimi on the other hand is better eaten with chop sticks given that it is both in one slab, and also more moist than sushi, making it messier to pick with one’s fingers). And you’re supposed to dip it lightly in soy sauce with the fish side face down. Not with the rice side dipped – the soft and spongy texture of rice soaks in too much soy sauce.”
You have been doing it wrong all your life:
“There are native south-american tribes who says the correct way to eat a banana is from the right part. You just peel the banana from the “bottom”, not from the “top.” Well, I was not convinced though, still peeling from the top.”
Whatever you do, don’t spit!
“Pomegranate Consumption: Thou art to crunch the seeds, then to swallow. Thou art not to spit the seeds out. If for some circumstance, thou is compelled to spit out the seeds, thou art not to make a mess while doing so.”
Not too hot!
“Almost any food that you eat when it’s too hot, you’re eating wrong. In order for you to taste a food in it’s absolute state, you need to let it cool down a bit and all the flavors will come to you. If you’re eating it too hot, all you will try to do is either swallow or throw it out.”
Who knew lettuce could be a game changer:
“I know a lot of foods that are eaten the wrong way almost every single time. Take tacos for example. By simply wrapping them into a lettuce leaf you will never get messy again.”
