With all this placing of the knife at 6:00 and spoon at 3:56, makes me think you guys are perfectisonists. Therefore making me think you all have OCD. :P

In England, when we eat rice, it's usually in a form similar to this: http://www.cullyandsully.com/pressph...en%20curry.JPG and we use a knife and fork.

The thing about emptying the bowl is cultural. In Britain, you generally leave a little food to show the host that they have been hospitable enough to fill you - that makes them happy. In some Asian places, or so i've heard, they get offended if you don't finish everything they give you.

Any more takes on this?

I never eat rice out of a bowl (I don't even have bowls) and when I'm finished, I put my knife and fork facing 5 o'clock knife on the right. I do get kinda pissed off if I make dinner and someone doesn't finish.

i am currently picking the leftover rice with my fingers.
most of the time my bowl is clean, but probably some is left over. meh
and i put my chopsticks both ways (on top of the bowl, and to the side on the plate). I never did grow up knowing too much of these superstitions, so that is probably why i dont really care much. I usually just try to be polite and finish my meal. :)

i once shoved chopsticks up my nose... i'll never do it again.

I have always learned to put my knife and fork on the same side of the plate to show you're done.
