It sounds odd, yes.
And it’s a weird topic for a quick blogpost… but it’s the
little things that are sometimes noticeable cultural differences.
We eat our cake differently in the US. I have no idea how much of the rest of the
world eats cake like this, but in Africa a celebration cake or birthday cake is
eaten out of the hand. One will go to an
absolutely posh party with linen napkins and every other decorative detail
looked after, and then be served cake straight into his/her hand, gooey
frosting and all. In the US, it’s pretty
safe to say that cake is never considered a finger food unless it comes in a
cup-cake wrapper. Funny little details.
I’ll take my cake with a fork, please!
