In an eye-catching moment, a video of an elderly woman using a Fork and a spoon for eating her meal has grabbed the audience’s attention online. While in India, eating with bare hands is a common and ancient custom, deeply rooted in Indian culture and tradition, the elderly’s sophistication with which she used the cutlery has gained her the title of ‘Etiquette queen’.
However, the location of the clip is not yet confirmed.
Elderly Woman’s Fork-And-Spoon Etiquette
The clip shared on Instagram features an elderly woman, dressed in a saree, sitting inside a fine-dining restaurant and using a fork with her right hand, and a spoon with her left and to eat a small piece of paneer from her plate.
But what made the audience laud the old woman was her sophistication while using the cutlery with much ease, indicating that she is well known with the technique used to eat in the British style.
The video caption reads, “Classy and Sassy Dadi is the Internet’s new etiquette queen.”
Internet Showers Praise
The clip was quick to grab the attention of the viewers, prompting several reactions from them. An Instagram user wrote, “Great going ajji.” Another one wrote, “Dadi rocks.”
While some users shared their preference to still use their hands to eat the food. A person shared, “I am a general surgeon and come from a very reputed family of army officers and IPS officers. I still prefer to eat with my bare, clean hands. Am I doing something wrong?”
Etiquette Coach Eats Pani Puri With Fork
Recently, a video of a Delhi-based etiquette coach invited the ire of the internet after demonstrating how to eat panipuri with a fork and spoon. Yes! You read that right.
In the video, she lifts a puri with silverware, divides it into two with a spoon within a bowl, eats it, and then drinks the spicy water.
The video triggered backlash from social media users who claimed that pani puri, also known as golgappa, is best enjoyed the traditional way: by filling the puri and putting it entirely into the mouth.
