Do you eat with spoon & fork or with your hands?

Hi there Cool Cat!

I like eating with my hands when we are eating something fried but when eating something with soup or something oily and greasy, I prefer to use spoon and fork.

mostly with hands ...but when there are some things like liquids like..raita, kheer etc, then i need spoon...and for things like noodles etc i use fork..

Talking wholly many people eat by hands as eating by firk or spoon turns to be a essy job. Although many people treat eating bu spoon as a high class trend but in my opinion eating by hands has many scientific advantages than eating bu fork or spoon. We should make a habit to eat by hands rather than artificaial metals.

I eat with a spoon if what I am eating fits on the spoon, if not I usally eat with a fork. I also eat with my hands but not like you were taught, instead I am talking about when eating finger foods, like pizza, donuts and apples.

I was raised in Canada and if I got caught eating with my hands I would get a slap.

Mostly i eat with hands.Some times i eat with fork and spoon,specially when i am out.

some of us are so used to eating with bare hands but most of us know how to do it. i eat with bare hands too especially if u are in the beach, oh, how i love eating there. i use spoon and fork in some events. we use spoon and fork at home and more so when u go to parties or other social events. we should know how to appropriately act in different occasions.

Hi coolcat,
i do use both hands and fork and spoon and it depends on what i am eating. If i am eating soup then definitely i would have to use sppon and if am eating noodles then i use fork but if i am eating our staple food that is roti with sabji or any other indian food then i have to use hands and spoon if it got curry in it. But mostly with hands.

hi coolcat^^;;
i eat with my bare hands when we are out in the beach and eating seafood like prawns, fish and some shells. It's a lot easier to remove the outer shells and bone the fish
but i do use spoon and fork and sometimes chopsticks at home especially when i eat infront of the pc to avoid messing my hands to type

and well of course, there are food that we cannot actually eat with bare hands like soups and the like wherein we can use hands only with dry/fried food.

I usually eat with a fork and spoon but if it's something like chicken with a bone or a beef rib, then I'll use my hands. There are just some foods you have to use your hands with!:)

It depends what I am eating. If I eat a sandwich, a chicken leg, a piece of pizza or something similar I eat with my hands, but in most situations I eat with knife and fork or with a spoon. I was very young when I learned how to use a knife and fork. My parents wouldn't let me eat with my hands, and my father got very angry if I refused to use a knife and fork. In my country it is considered impolite to eat with your hands, there are a few exceptions and it is okay to eat chicken or other birds with your hands, but aside from that we have to use a knife and fork. When we are at a party we even eat pizza with a knife and fork, it is so much easier to eat it with your hands, but it is not considered polite.
