Samosa Eating Etiquette? Internet Can’t Keep Calm After Viral Video
A new trend has left netizens divided and thoroughly amused. Apparently, there’s something called “Samosa Eating Etiquette”, and according to a viral video , using your hands is a big no-no!
In the clip, a man demonstrates the refined way to eat this classic Indian snack. He holds the samosa with a fork, cuts it neatly with a knife, and eats each bite using only the fork. The grand finale? A spoonful of chutney, because apparently, even dipping by hand is too casual.
Shared on X (formerly Twitter) by the handle @JeetN25, the video racked up over 684K views in just two days. Naturally, reactions ranged from shock to outright hilarity.
“Dip and eat is the best way to enjoy samosa,” one user commented. Another said, “Me eating samosa by hand while watching this video,” while a third added, “Samosa + green chutney and eating it by hand.”
Many slammed the trend as an attempt to imitate Western table manners. “Can we just stop teaching ourselves British table etiquettes and try eating indian food specially the way it is supposed to be eaten. In which era are these guys living? Still validating themselves by acting like the west?,” wrote one netizen. Another joked, “This robotic systematic era is long gone and forgotten. Yes, go ahead with such etiquettes based on the western cuisine requirements, but not for Indian cuisine please.”
While the video is entertaining, NewsPoint could not verify its authenticity. Still, it sparked a debate that has left most Indians reaching for their samosas, the traditional way, with hands and chutney intact.
