Despite all that polishing, i still never got the chance to learn how to set a table until this morning when i glanced through Leke Alder's time line on twitter and saw this diagram and to say i'm thrilled would be an understatement.
So to the pako/kpako kids like me who grew up without learning this, here's a diagram to help you and to all mothers, here's a chance to put your kids in the know.

It's not just for the girls, every guy should know how to set a table too, especially in our present system where roles have been mainstreamed.

Who gives a shit? I eat my food on my bed...sometimes while taking a dump! What in the world do I need a table for?lol biko, that's not our culture jor. The food you eat determines the cutlery you use... Eba still tastes better with my washed hands, thank you.
ReplyDeleteLol! Son of Man, I see people who use fork and knife to eat eba. Even very polished people. What would you say to that?
DeleteI say they are "mkponkiti" people. We mustn't swallow everything oyibo gives to us hook, line and sinker! Eba na naija food and is eaten with washed hands, not with cutlery...at least not eba, mbok!
DeleteThis is good info...thanks crunch
ReplyDeleteLol! So you can stop using fork for your pap. #picksrace
DeleteAs much as I gree up in posh surroundings and travelled abroad, I still believe that African foods should be eaten in the traditional way and we should stop copying everything western all in the name of trying to be 'civilised'.
ReplyDeleteWould you also use your hands to eat rice, yam, beans and plantain? Will you also use your hands to scop desserts? I feel everyone should have the basic foundation then you can decide what to use or not to use later. Then it will be a matter of choice, not that you're totally ignorant
Deletenice, but I love eating my food with spoon. I remember having a lunch treat at Protea Ikeja, I just packed all those forks and knife one side and enjoyed my meal with the lovely spoon..I was bush but at least,I saved myself the misery I saw on some people who tried to use their knife to cut everything before picking it with the 'ferk'!
