People in most of the Inquisition eat with bare hands or with chopsticks; forks and knives are typically used as cutlery only in the Northwest and parts of the North. Spoons are used everywhere for thick soups, but less thick broth soups, common in the Plains and the Jade Coast, are eaten by picking things in them with chopsticks and then drinking the broth from the bowl. | People in most of the Inquisition eat with bare hands or with chopsticks; forks and knives are typically used as cutlery only in the Northwest and parts of the North.

''niralūk''). | ||
