if true, I suggest she needs lessons on how to safely eat from skewers, of any kind. Casual and Street Food Settings Bite from the side: If you are at a casual barbecue or eating street food where cutlery is unavailable, pull the food off from the side of your mouth. Avoid the tip: Never slide food forward toward the sharp point to bite it, as you risk puncturing your mouth or throat. One-bite pieces: Only eat directly from the stick if the portions are small enough to be consumed safely in a single, clean bite. She might fly 1st class...but eat like cattle/street class.
