(Screengrab (X))\"\/>   A woman in London was spotted eating with bare hands and talking on the phone. (Screengrab (X))    <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo this is London tube, the new trend of eating biryani with bare hands is the next sensation (sic),\u201d an X user wrote while sharing a video. In the clip, a woman speaks on the phone, sitting beside two men glued to their mobiles.<\/p>\n<p>While talking, she is also seen eating from a plate on her lap. She continues talking and eating until the end of the video. A packet, which some claimed was her food bag, is on the seat beside the woman.<\/p>\n<p>Another X post claimed that the incident occurred in London Docklands. The <a class=\"backlink\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/topic\/social-media\" data-vars-page-type=\"story\" data-vars-link-type=\"Manual\" data-vars-anchor-text=\"social media\" rel=\"noopener\">social media<\/a> user described the place as \u201cthe home of hi-tech and sophisticated banking\u201d. The post further claimed, \u201cAn Indian woman is on the phone, eating her dinner with her hands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Take a look at the post:  How did social media react?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope she enjoyed it. It looks good. Multi-tasking on the commute, eating and chatting with a friend. Winning,\u201d an individual posted. Another added, \u201cHealth and hygiene are no longer revered in the UK.\u201d A third joined, \u201cThis is the cultural enrichment we lacked.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A fourth expressed, \u201cHow do people eat burgers and chips on a train\u2026 thought they also used their hands. Same with kebabs, chicken, etc. Not sure why you object to a brown woman and not everyone else eating in the same manner.\u201d A fifth wrote, \u201cIt\u2019s weird enough to eat food like that with your hands. But why do they always play with it between mouthfuls, too?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>          <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/story_trending@2x.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"\/>            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\" class=\"breadcrumbclick\" data-vars-event-label=\"Home_clicked\" data-vars-event-action=\"\/\" data-vars-event-cta=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/trending\" class=\"breadcrumbclick\" data-vars-event-label=\"Trending_clicked\" data-vars-event-action=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/trending\" data-vars-event-cta=\"Trending\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trending<\/a> \/ \u2018She looks Indian\u2019: Woman mocked for eating with hands on London train, viral video ignites culture war   <\/p>\n<p> See Less <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"May 29, 2025 07:43 AM IST A woman eating with her hands while talking on the phone on&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":140319,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7757],"tags":[748,393,4884,42398,257,60895,16,15,359,416,6469,3137],"class_list":{"0":"post-140318","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-london","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-indian","12":"tag-london","13":"tag-london-train","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom","16":"tag-video","17":"tag-viral","18":"tag-viral-video","19":"tag-woman"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140318","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=140318"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140318\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/140319"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=140318"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=140318"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=140318"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
