CAROL AND IDA REALLY DID EAT WITH THEIR HANDS.  THIS IS THE NORMAL METHOD FOR BENGALIS WITH BANGLA FOOD.  This was the noon meal at the Taize brothers after the worship service.  The one brother was teasing the ladies that there was an examination.  If they failed to show they could eat decently with their hands he was going to produce spoons for them to use.  They were glad they had one day to practice before this! They must have passed the test since no spoons were produced.  It was quite a bit easier since it was kitcheri!
