Etiquette for Authentic Dining
Most dining are at majlis (a place of sitting) which has cushions lining the room and pillows to rest your back. The Prophet Mohammad says to thank God then eat with your right hand because your left hand is used for personal hygiene. Andrew Henderson / The National says "we don't have to worry about what utensil goes on the left or right because we don't use them. We eat with our thoroughly washed hands." Arabians says eating with your hands are cleaner than using utensils because these utilize have been used by a infinite number of people. Meals are usually shared with 6-12 people on large dishes.
Fun Fact!
"A long time ago thieves used to have their right hands cut off. It was an added disgrace because they would have had to use the left hand for everything."
