Former British Royal Family Butler Says Rice Should Be Eaten With A Fork And Knife, Not Hands
Just because something isn't done that way in your culture or social circle, it does not mean that any other way is wrong.
What are we going on about?
It's about this extremely insensitive katak bawah tempurung called Grant Harrold, a self proclaimed etiquette expert from Britain, who was also the former butler to Princes Charles, William and Harry.
On March 6, Grant decided to give out some advice on how to eat rice via his Twitter account, which resulted in so much rage.
No need for cutlery!
"Ladies and gentlemen, remember we always use a knife and fork or chopsticks to eat rice! We do not use our hands or fingers !!! ?", he tweeted accompanied with a picture of some person eating grains of rice with a knife and fork.
The message, the multiple exclamation marks, the emoji and the picture did not go down well with many netizens, most of whom actually eat rice on a daily basis.

My etiquette is British etiquette training not worldwide etiquette training as stated in by bio.

British etiquette? Really?
We still don't buy it lah.
You're living in a country which include people from all over the world and honestly Grant, if you reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally wanted to use utensils to eat rice, use a spoon dude.
A spoon and knife makes so much more sense than trying to split that grain of rice with a fork.
