lately evening i was reading this essay called is there an indian way of eating!? by kt.ravanujan.
its a very interesting article or whatever peace of shit you might want to call it. here is an excerpt from that essay only :
SodyoWhysky had an exercise for his costumers. He would give them a mundane dish like 'coffee/tea', 'idli/sambar' 'dosa/chutney' 'rice/rasam' etc etc...and ask them to eat it in forty different ways., using spoons, or fingers or other culturally significant and sintagmatic mechanisms. he would go to such an extent, asking his customers to eat idli and chutney with chopsticks.. My question is 'Is there an indian way of eating?', is a good one for such an exercise. Depending on where the dish is placed, it contains many questions at many juxtapositional levels-all of which are real questions-- asked again and again when people eat....
