old testament thing I suppose.
christians had also refused to use a tool on left hand until Italians invented table forks during the renaissance.

even if you considered plain white rice the same as popcorn, the vast majority of the time you don't eat it like that, but mixed with sauces and shit
A spoon is just a more logical choice unless you're a super poor peasant in the middle of nowhere

No euros used spoons and sticks before using forks. Also, pointy sticks were used before forks and forks are really ancient anyway, unless you think 700 years is nothing

The only spice that you might not use regularly for Indian cuisine is Shahi jeera and Lichen (kalpasi)
You don't need Shahi jeera, it's just like cumin
