[washmeera22]

The guy in the back using a spoon !!

[maspendejadas]

if they eat with there hand how come the dude in the background is eating with a spoon

[migrationology]

@maspendejadas Yah, he was one of the only guys in all of Sri Lanka that was eating with a spoon - and it just happened to be when I was filming this video!

[Jaani123able]

This is realy an awsome clip to watch..It makes us sense about the country...But the funniest thing is when he enjoys eating with his hands the person who's behind him eats it with a spoon..:D

[migrationology]

@Jaani123able I know, and the even funnier thing is that I didn't even know he was eating with his hands in the background until I watched the video!!!

[20Smallguy]

Cool how does that taste by the way I'll sure wanna try some! :D

[migrationology]

@20Smallguy The food is so delicious. Rice with a few tasty curries and vegetables on top.

[Amaika456]

hahaha.... like how you use your hands to eat and very true regarding the food tasting better when you use your hand compared to spoons/forks :) !

[migrationology]

@Amaika456 Thanks for watching!

O_o

[schchen2000]

Actually, South East Asian food tastes better, delicious, more nutritious and very lean (low fat) compared to what a typical American would eat in the US. But the thing is the food just needs to be clean.

[migrationology]

@schchen2000 I agree, I love Sri Lankan food!

[SayMissGeraldine]

@schchen2000 AGREE !

[mostwanted2863]

[SayMissGeraldine]

[Pencilfood]

@SayMissGeraldine ahahahah yah.. :D :D :D

[migrationology]

@SayMissGeraldine I know, it was just the bad luck of the day... when almost everyone eats with there hands!!!

[SayMissGeraldine]

@migrationology

nah, doesnt really matter anyway... at times when m out with my indian friends at a Banana Leaves Rice Restaurant... i'll be the one who end up eating using hand... btw, does taste better using hand esp eating spicy food... ;)

[SayMissGeraldine]

@migrationology

btw, did u blog b4 bout eating Durian in Thailand?

[shadinu]

Lol! We don't play around with food, it's a way of mixing the food to eat. But congratulations are in order because it seems you have mastered the skill ;)

[migrationology]

@shadinu Hehe, Thanks!

[27charisma]

haha @0:55 !!!theres a sri lankan eating with a spoon behind ??! lol'd

[yasanuwanbasuru]

aiyyooo :)

the man behind you is destroying your point!!

ne way job well done!!

[loki1392]

@yasanuwanbasuru he was eating from a bowl so am guessing it was soup or at least a very liquid meal hence the spoon

[voxsar]

@loki1392 Noop that’s was my uncle and he just wanted to show off to the video, you get to see that type of pathology in Sri Lanka often, everyone wants to hog a camera Screen! :)

[voxsar]

@yasanuwanbasuru Noop that’s was my uncle and he just wanted to show off to the video, you get to see that type of pathology in Sri Lanka often, everyone wants to hog a camera Screen! :), most of the time they eat by hand exception include in weddings or places of extreame beheviour judgement, like e.g. Burger King (p.s. their one of thoses in Sri Lanka)

[tharubaba]

oh wow!

u can really eat well

[migrationology]

@tharubaba Thanks!

[knelumika]

Nice! But you have started from the wrong side of the plate :)

You should start from your side of the plate.

[migrationology]

@knelumika Thanks! Yah, I definitely should have started from the side! Thanks for the tip!

[knelumika]

[thelahera]

sorry for those careless bus drivers who think they should use the horn to drive the buses rather than the accelerator :P

- A Sri Lankan

[migrationology]

@thelahera Haha, no problem at all - doesn't change my positive feelings about Sri Lanka at all!

[voxsar]

@thelahera Your not a Sri Lanka, Judgeing by the comment!, they drive the vehicles by using the horn, its their propetual energy :)

[wsdperera]

[Buddhika75]

[l2131s]

lol @ spoon guy

[zeb120]

tanzania  ???

wtf?

[MrRajitha]

hi Mark...I really appriciate what you doing....I love your vidoes....you it by hand awsomely for your first time..but there is some correction... The method is you have to start from your side..take some other vege,meat and all things to that place and mixed it...no need to take your fingers all arounf the plate...but itz nice trying....you are a awesome traveler..wish you all da very best ..please come again to sri lanka and try different kinds of food..there are lots of.. thnak you

[hashir]

@MrRajitha Yep, different cultures start eating in different ways, but it's pretty consistant with starting from towards you on the plate, almost clearing up a small "clear area" at the edge.. then bring in a bit of rice, and other stuff.. mix it with the fingers well, some people clump this mixture into a small ball, and then eat it :)

great stuff though man! and glad you enjoyed your visit in lanka and experienced the lovely food!

[migrationology]

@hashir Thanks for your input as well!

[migrationology]

@MrRajitha Ok, cool tip, thanks for sharing! I had a great time in Sri Lanka and ate a lot of wonderful food!

[voxsar]

@MrRajitha Agreed you should vist agin vist a rural area ()make sure you gotta map, and they may teach you how to make some food even we have not heard of!

Wellewatte barely outside the former capital (technically it still is insideteh former capital)

[migrationology]

@voxsar Thanks for the suggestions!

[TravelYourself]

hahaha I love how one guy behind you is eating with his hands but everyone else is using a fork haha the food looks yummy! :)

[migrationology]

@TravelYourself Seriously...the single restaurant in Sri Lankan where people were eating with forks and spoons haha - and I had no idea, because the people eating in front of me were all eating with their hands haha!

[nirraperera]

I read your travel blog and watch your YouTube clips. You are such a cool and sort of a blessed guy. Keep the good work up!!!!!!!!!!!!

[migrationology]

@nirraperera Thanks! Appreciate your support!

[jennjaytea]

why is the guy in the back using a spoon. =P but i just want to say thank you for all these uploads. its like a virtual tour for me.... much appreciated

[migrationology]

@jennjaytea so the guy eating with a spoon is eating the single (1) dish (kottu) that they eat with a spoon in Sri Lanka - weird enough, he happened to be eating right behind me...of course! But anyway, most of the country eats all meals with their hands - especially eating rice and curry. Thanks for watching the video!
