[@grifterjason4500]

WHAT Ben died?! I've been binge watching your videos lately coz I have a planned trip to NYC later this month and stumbling upon your videos and seeing your man behind the camera & co-host is a fellow Filipino makes it even fun to watch and now he's gone 😥 Hats off to the guy , I will still continue to support you and his memory will live on your videos 😇🙏

Bringing a Filipino to eat with you is a wise move. He did perfectly taught you eating fil. food the right way.

[@archiox0628]

One thing that always fascinates me as a Filipino is how people of other cultures seem to be stumped on the spoon and fork combo of utensils. Like, how in the world is using a spoon to scoop rice harder than using fork for them?

[@woojinbloo44]

It's what they're used to. You can say it's their norm or even part of their culture (not using forks and spoons). It's the same for us when it comes to fork and knife combo which we very rarely use.

Filipina here. The most possible explanation why knives were not encouraged to be used during meals must have originated among the Spaniards being scared those sharp objects would be used to butcher them. Ok. Perhaps, it was the Americans who restricted knife use on the Filipino table. Just imagine how they must have felt while dining with Filipinos such as the fearless, straightforward, and aggressively patriotic General Antonio Luna!
