Remember that the right hand is always used for eating the traditional African way - NEVER the left hand since that it is considered unclean. Have the oldest person served first (disregard whether it is a male or female). It is perfectly okay to eat finger foods or traditional African food such as Fufu, Eba, Amala with your fingers. You can bite off pieces of larger savouries. If they are messy, use your fork or spoon. the following items bread, cookies, corn on the cob, chips, french fries, hors d'oeuvres, sandwiches, small fruits, berries, and cubed cheese are finger foods. Pointing your feet at others is impolite - point your feet away from them.
