A lady called Lucy Challenger hopped on TikTok to tell the world how to eat rice. Like seriously, according to her the “correct” way to eat rice is using a table knife to push it onto an inverted fork because it’s “neat” and “easier.” She claims it’s “formal Western dining.” LOL. Obviously, desis from around the world assembled to call her out on the whitewashed post.

Realizing what a spoon can do is going to blow this lady’s mind.

I’d die hungry before picking the first “scoop” 😭

Send her the videos of Ajji’s making spheres of rice and sending it to the mouths in projectile motion

Why did I hear “punch me, punch me now. Make me stop talking”

So badly want to sit in front of her and eat rajma, chawal and dahi with my bare hands. Just to see her lose her shit.

SO eating a plate of biryani will take approx 12 months?

Well, it’s wrong in the context of eating a non-western dish even in formal western contexts. Have you seen people eating sushi with forks in formal western settings? No? Guess what: We can make idiotic rules too, or is that the prerogative of the white skinned only?!

Clip cuts exactly before she “neatly places” because displacing items from shovel like equipment will always be “shovelling”

My favorite part is they had to do a cut because the rice probably fell off the fork while she tried to gently place it in her mouth. Comedy gold.

Also, why is she eating plain rice? I thought the West colonized us for spices?
