Do Ugandans eat with their hands?

Answer 1

Yes, many Ugandans traditionally eat with their hands, particularly when enjoying staple foods like matoke (steamed plantains) or posho (maize porridge). This practice is often seen as a way to connect more intimately with the food. However, the use of utensils can also be common, especially in urban areas or at formal dining events. Cultural practices may vary by region and personal preference.
