I hear you. An old friend of mine from a way back once owned an ethiopian restaurant and kept inviting me to check it out. I did one evening. I was the only customer in there, and ordered some sort of variety platter. He puts it all in front of me and I'm like okay, how do I go about eating this? Turns out you had to take these thin flat pancake things, rip a piece off, then scoop up the so-called "food" in it with your fingers, and shove it in your mouth. No utensils were present on the table.
I swear, years later when I saw that Seinfeld episode about Babu and that Pakistani restaurant I damn near shit myself reliving my experience.
Btw, on other food I could never figure out how to eat was whole lobster. the tail, yes, the claws, yes, but the body? I can never tell what's worth eating and what isn't inside that mess.
