What do you use to eat this? Your hand, a fork, a spoon, a knife, chopsticks, or something else?

Looks like it’s been for a while in S. Korea. Here, and in western countries, it’s being declared, as these clips show, based on the timeframe of their postings!

They remind me of a Jamaican sweet treat! The ingredients are worlds apart.
:coconut: The center ingredients are really different. :rice:

That looks delicious and something I might want to try to make in the summer. Traditional Finnish food is often made so that the person gets full and has the strength to work in what is sometimes a really cold climate (winter time isn’t always fun), so soups, stews and not to forget the swede casserole (rutabaga made in the oven).

Aaaah! Yes! The premise is the same in the island home. :jamaica: Sometimes folks are gone all day long to the fields, school, and work. Due to the heat, and long distances of travel. The street vendors are often a welcome sight, as a result. :blush:

It’s quite interesting that there are similarities between so different countries but it makes the world feel smaller. I’m going to give that a try in the summer and I will post a picture when I get a hold of a Finnish Easter delicatessen that I suspect there is a similar thing in your country.

Hi @maria_lavendula_77 ,
The only thing that comes to mind is a candy. You’ll notice that it also contains molasses, and it too has coconut :coconut: :smile: cc is available in the vid, and I’ve screenshot the ingredients. :wink:

Thank you so much! :heart: That also sounds like something I have to make. I get so happy and inspired by the similarities even when something its slightly different.

so i do taekwondo, and the teacher/master is korean. once i saw him eat a muffin with chopsticks and i, like, died. anyway, let me get back to what i was doing. goes back to eating a slice of bread with a fork :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: jk
i mean, who are we to tell people what utensils to eat food with?! it will all go to our stomach eventually :rofl:

215

It depends. If no utensils then with clean hands. If available fork after cutting into smaller pieces.

216

WOW I did not know this topic haha. Really intereting :smiley: stuff there. But just after your meal or u will be hungry. haha

Eating with spoon will be hard. Unless you have skillful hand-eye coordination.
