British High Commissioner wins hearts as he gives cutlery a miss, eats dosa with hands

British High Commissioner to India, Alex Ellis, on Sunday reiterated a lesson he had learned in August 2021 -- do not use cutlery while eating dosa.

Ellis won a lot of hearts last year during his stay in Karnataka when he listen to Twitter's advice on the correct way to relish dosa, gave the cutlery a miss and dug into the crispy dish with his hands.

It all started when Ellis posted a picture of himself relishing on Mysuru Masala Dosa but was seen using a fork and a knife. Although people appreciated his efforts to try the Indian cuisine, they also informed him that the best way to enjoy Indian food was by using hands.

Ellis then launched a Twitter poll asking people to vote how should he enjoy his breakfast with hands or knife-fork, majority voted for the prior. The British High Commissioner then proceeded to share a video showing him holding the cutlery but as he begins to eat, he quickly ditches it and opts to enjoy his meal using his hands, after glancing at his phone.

“92% of Twitter is correct! It tastes better with the hand,” Ellis wrote referring to the Twitter poll.
