your next mission: EAT WITH YOUR HANDS Forget what your parents told you at the dinner table, it’s more than acceptable to eat with your hands. And why not? Just look at all the great foods that are best enjoyed sans silverware: sandwiches and wraps, veggies and dip, burgers and fried chicken or finger foods, too. So this week, we want you to put a fork in using cutlery and show us your favourite hand-held foods where no utensils are required.
