I even wash my hands when using utensils. How much more when i just use my hands. People are so dumb.

[@GorArkson]

Alright @@justg94 we could stop with the stereotypes, obviously any person may or may have not washed their hands before eating. Let's skip the nationality part. But let's just trust those people in the video that they did washed their hands.

[@charsysupermom1355]

We know the importance of handwashing. Even we eat like the unusual thing for other countries but when you get into that vibe of "salo salo" -"get together" (a filipino hospitality) being part of the family or as if you are friends for a long period of time but ure not, there, you will enjoy more what you put in your mouth even what you capture (memories) for that particular point of time.. nothing can beat the hospitality, the positivity of a Filipino crowd.

[@unitv7624]

[@siennameenah4947]

The true essence of Kamayan style eating or "boodle fight" is to spend this quality time with your friends and family, bonding over food and sharing. So in a Filipino dinner table, blood relative or not, you ARE part of the family. This is Filipino culture.

[@philhand5830]

True, warm, and genuine! My experience has been, be true to a Filipino and he'll be true to you..

[@user-dg2jz1gi5s]

Boodle fight is an army thing. No civilian normally does that today or even in the past. If you are in the Philippines, you use separate plates/bowls then eat with your hands, not lay out banana leaves.

[@Nil_Sama]

Yup, but to be fair the owner did explain properly that kinamot was the act of using your hands (though he didn't explicitly say it was not the term used for the feast/activity of eating together) They probably just didn't include the term "boodle fight" since the topic was about eating with one's hands (kinamot)

[@RVboyjunior]

Explain boodle.

[@argeraint]

Lol we did have one in our classroom during lunch time. We were all tired of PE that day and we decided to go have a boodle fight in our classroom. We gave each other money and a pair of our classmates went to buy meat, another pair went to find banana leaves, and they managed to cook it in the school kitchen. Also, someone bought some soft drinks, hehehee. It was niceeeeee we literally posed in front of our classroom CCTV camera with no regrets hahahahaha

[@miguelmendiola4088]

This practice was started by Philippine Army Soldiers while on jungle campaign, sharing their food, on banana leaves. There are wild bananas everywhere in the Philippines. The term "Boodle Fight" was the name given to it by Philippine Military Academy Cadets. Yes, I was in the Philippine Military.

I'm married to a filipina, going on for 11 years. She has introduced me to a huge amount of different foods. A few things to remember... 1. No knives. Spoons and forks only. 2. Eating with your hands is acceptable, tough to get over after a childhood of "don't eat with your hands" 3. Most important! Never finish everything on your plate, it says to your host you're not finished or it wasn't enough.

[@idleeidolon]

eating with your hands is acceptable --- BUT --- grandma is there to make sure you washed your hands. otherwise, she'll beat your ass. also, NO DOUBLE DIPPING.

[@diopatra80]

not finishing your food part, im not sure with that. i grew up with "finish everything upto the last grain of rice" literally. im from a family of farmers so they instill in us the importance of every grain of rice/food shouldnt be put on waste. besides the host will feel satisfied if they see empty plates coz it means the food is delicious, leftovers means the food is not good enough. but anyway, as i said it dependsn on the family who is hosting i Guess

Not sure as well with the NOT FINISH YOUR FOOD PART. I grew up with my chinese -fil grand mother, not any grain of the rice on your plate should be left, if one grain falls off from the plate , you must eat irregardless of it’s on the floor. Also my mom would tell me, people in Africa doesn’t eat well and why I am wasting such food on the table. Therefore, no leftovers on your plate.
