Knife-and-Fork Indians
I’m not a knife-and-fork Indian.
But that’s because…I’m not Indian :-)
(And I tend to not use a knife…).
But what’s wrong with someone who eats with a knife-and-fork?
How can you preach unity for Trinidad & Tobago while calling some Indians traitors to their race for running in any party they choose (now, I might consider some people traitors to their country for supporting a dictatorship…but that’s different). That’s not unity. That’s preaching race politics. Yes, we know everybody pushes race but at least don’t be so obvious.
How can you call for unity at the same time as you are insulting the people you want to woo? Serious case of right hand not knowing what the left hand doing (or the right brain cell not knowing what the left brain cell doing…yes! you only have TWO brain cells).
Back to the knife-and-fork…if you are preaching unity, doesn’t it seem contradictory to separate based on how you eat? Why can’t the people who eat with hands and the people who eat with a knife-and-fork unite to save the country. Are only the people who eat with hands deserving of being saved?
On a side note, don’t expect me to eat with my hands if you don’t provide decent facilities to wash my hands before and after I eat. But then, you probably don’t wash the dishes too well so I’m doomed anywayz…(doomed to die of starvation).
I don’t have to guess who say this, do I?

Hi Lilandra, the link is now working to enlarge the pic with the grater-spread sheet. You may not have the time to revisit so I thought, I’d leave the link here for you. http://tasteslikehome.googlepages.com/Bloggraters.mht
Thanks for taking the time to stop by.

Well I believe he said it sometime last year…and may have accused Anand Ramlogan of being a “knife-and-fork” indian.
Also at a UNC-A meeting this week, they say how it was unethical of Anand to defend a client if he had different political views. When his views changed he should have informed them…so that’s the worst they can come up with…some kaka!

Thanks Cynthia!
I don’t seem to be able to open an MHT file though.

Lilandra, it could possibly be a . htm or .html file.
Just guessing though.
BTW how doe they classify pple who does only eat with spoon?
Maybe a classification can be made on quality of cutlery like plastic versus steel, and dont forget the revolutionary spork..

It’s some kind of encapsulated/archive complete html file. I could download FileJuicer (or buy?) to extract it I guess…
Well, after Anand’s speech somebody came up and said how so-and-so in COP (I forget who) does eat with chopsticks so what!
I wonder if plastic ranks higher than steel? Or what about those who eat with real silver???
