'It’s the kind of thing that makes time disappear. I go into a trance state, letting everything else fade into the background. It’s falling in love. It’s meditation.'
, which it’s not—unless I am doing it. I wouldn’t fault anybody for seeing me down a chicken wing and considering me feral. I relish in it. I love to eat plenty of food by hand on a more regular basis, like tacos, corn on the cob, tibs with injera, naan with curry, or a crudités, and it’s enjoyable albeit routine. But eating meat on the bone or in the shell feels rarer.
It’s an experience where shame must fade away, and most “rules” could never be enforced, which is why the best way to eat with your hands is with people who you love. It is the ultimate communal experience. There’s no need to impress, and the only correct way to eat is to eat. It can also be a slower process, as you can only grab so much with your hands at one time.
I’ve had partners and met friends who are not fans of this sort of dining. These are people who opt for the made-up “boneless wing” over a bone-in one, who leave a prawn head for the compost instead of sucking its brains dry. “It’s too much work,” goes the refrain. These are able-bodied people, who otherwise could use their hands. And I get their perspective, and yet I am sad that they do not feel what I feel.
To me, this sort of laborious eating is not a means to an end but the whole point itself. It is not consuming, it is living. It is time spent and spent well, and it is celebration. It is what reminds me to not think so much about decorum or manners or what’s “right.” It reminds me I can justthat I am also just another living creature in the world, that I am blessed with abundance, at least for the moment. It’s just me and the crab. And it’s so so sweet.
