So I'm picky sometimes and when it comes to eating I always need to have the right crockery and cutlery for certain meals.

Steve is a bit like this too, but not as bad as me.

For example when Steve makes creamy chicken pasta he prefers to use a spoon whereas I prefer to use a fork.

I absolutely hate it when he gives me a spoon because he knows by now that I prefer a fork with this particular meal. It's like he's trying to train me or something because everytime I complain that he's yet again given me a spoon, he goes on to say how it's so much better with a spoon because the creamy part of the meal stays on your spoon whereas it doesn't on your fork etc etc.

It just puts the whole meal off for me if I don't have a fork. When I have meat in my meal I like to stab it with my fork and bite it off the fork with my teeth. It feels weird when it's on a spoon. To me spoons are for soups and such. If I have the meat on a spoon it feels like I should slurp it off my spoon.

I don't want to slurp the chicken off my spoon. :sad3: I want to bite it off my fork. :sad3:

The same goes with cups. I prefer glasses for cokes, juice etc, whereas I must have a cup (with a handle) if I am to have a milo, milk etc.

It just doesn't feel right putting milk in a glass.

Is anyone else here as wierd as I am about this?
 
.....................:wacky:

Il use a fork for pretty much everything bar soup. And yeah il always take a glass over a cup when im having a drink. Im not compulsive about it though. If i didnt have one i would use the other and think nothing of it whatsoever hahah.
What a strange thing to be picky about :lew:
 
I'm slightly strange in regards to glasses and cups. I only tend to drink out of a glass in the mornings and during the early-mid afternoon, but switch to a cup as soon as the evening arrives even if I'm just drinking the same thing, unless I'm having wine or something. I don't know why I do that - I just connote glasses with mornings and daylight (in non-alcohol situations of course), if any of that makes sense. There aren't any glasses in the kitchen now, so I've had to make do with a mug in the mornings, but otherwise I'm not fussed. Switching from glasses to cups was just a weird habit of mine for years.

I normally use a fork anyway when I'm eating. I know I've attempted to use other methods such as chopsticks when eating noodles, but since I'm hopeless with chopsticks, and forks are still the most intuitive, I've stuck with them. I can sort of see where Steve is getting at with the spoon and the cream, but unless you're uh, drinking the cream while eating the chicken pasta like you would if you were having soup, I'd happily stick with a fork anyway. xD
 
:wacky: what an odd topic hahaha

Uhmmm well Obviously if I am eating soup or something I will use a spoon, and things that need a fork I will use a fork....The only weird thing I do with cutlery is I need a separate fork for my salad and a separate fork for the hot food, I don't like using the same one :hmph: I dunno why though, it's weird. Also the salad has to be in a different bowl to the warm stuff.

I also find that drinks taste nicer in a cup rather than a glass, but I'll drink from a glass because I am a grown up :sad3:
 
lol :wacky:

Only think il have a spoon with is soup or summat like that, id rather have a fork for everything else. Im the kind of weirdo that will use a knife and fork with a kebab though, and i use either a fork or a spoon if i have cake as well, im not fond of using my hands if i have the choice :8F:

Cold drinks i uses glasses, hot go in mugs
 
Am I the only one who cuts most of their food up with the side of a fork? I don't know why, but I have an aversion to using knives; it just feels weird to have an instrument in each hand, and I need the fork to keep the knife still if I'm using one...so I don't bother with a knife most of the time. Some stuff I HAVE to use a knife for, because otherwise it goes flying off my plate, but otherwise...nope. I'm a knife-free zone~

Glasses and cups...I used to have this habit of using a different glass/cup every time I got a drink, but I've more or less stopped doing that. We don't have that many glasses, so I usually end up just pouring stuff into cups; whatever comes to hand first. Obviously I have any hot drinks (I don't drink hot stuff often these days, though) in mugs...although that said, I have to wonder what herbal tea would taste like if you had it out of a plastic cup. Fucking disgusting, I would imagine.

I can't remember the last time I used a spoon for something...
 
I like using a teaspoon for porridge, cereal, yogurt, apple crumble and...pretty much anything that needs a spoon, bar soup. I feel it lasts longer this way and I can enjoy it more... if I use a large spoon, I feel I want to eat more because I don't get to have as many mouthfuls of food.

I also like to have my porridge in a deep bowl since it stays warm for longer, and like to have tea in cups which aren't too large, too thin, too fat or too small...

I hate not having a knife and it annoys me when others push their food around their plate and up the sides for ages to get it onto their fork. :(
 
Also whats up with with people who eat burgers and hotdogs using a fork and knife? Its the craziest thing ive ever heard of. You order a burger and chips from the bar and you get all your cutlery. Maybe im just common but to me burger and chips is finger food :wacky:

This is very true! I would eat pizza with my fingers, though (as many people I know do). It just doesn't last long enough if you eat it by hand. A knife and fork make it last longer. Maybe some people who eat burgers with a knife and fork think the same? :lew:

I've thought of something else... I like spiky, sharp forks, not forks with rounded prongs. :hmph:
 
I have never seen someone eat a burger with a knife and fork... they've obviously got mental retardation, that's the only excuse I can think of for someone to eat a burger like that. I do remember watching that Seinfeld episode where Elaine see's her boss eating a Mars bar with a knife and fork. If I saw anyone doing that in real life I'd slap them.

I have eaten a Pizza with a knife and fork before when I was at some restaurant. Felt weird doing it.

The only place I do this at is La Porchetta.

It's an okayish restaurant. Not too fancy but not bogany enough to be able to just pick up the food in your hands. >.<

Regardless, the pizza falls to bits if you try to pick it up anyway, so the knife and fork are necessary. XD

I've seen someone eat their burger with a knife and fork before at their house.

I was looking at them like, 0_o. It was just a Macca's burger. I dunno, it's just wierd to eat a burger like that. I have tried it to see what it was like and it just doesn't feel right. Gives the burger a different taste somehow.
 
The only time I've ever eaten a burger with a knife and fork was when I used to go to this breakfast place with my parents years ago. It was basically massive amounts of egg and bacon and sausage and cheese and mince etc inbetween two massive buns. It was half the size of my head, there is no way I could have eaten it with my hands.
I drink everything out of glasses because they're much thinner so they're much nicer. My dad won a pack of Heineken glasses and I stole them because they're so thing and lovely to drink from.
The only odd thing is that I use different forks for different things. For something like steak or Shepard's pie, I will use one of the bigger/fatter forks. For something like noodles I use a smaller one.
 
:lew:

I'm a bit odd I guess. I need a knife and a fork when I eat salads because I cut my salads before I eat them. I can never just use a fork, I need both a knife and fork.

Otherwise, it depends on the situation. I would prefer not to eat pudding or something of that nature with a fork, but if we happen to be out of spoons at work and we are waiting for more to be brought up, I will eat it with a fork :wacky: ...and naturally you can't eat soup with anything but a spoon...so thats what I use for that :lew:

Otherwise, I use a utensil for pretty much everything. The only thing I will eat entirely with my hands is pizza or the occasional burger. It grosses me out too much to use my hands to eat anything else. I use a fork to pick up french fries, chicken nuggets and etc.... unless I've literally JUST washed my hands. After I got sick a couple of months ago I've learned to be a whole lot more conscious of what I pick up with my hands and eat.
 
I use glasses for everything I drink unless it's a brew then it definitely turns to a whack off mug just so I can be greedy and have more tea than everyone else. I only use teaspoons to eat when I have smaller yoghurts, otherwise a normal spoon takes about a single spoonful just to finish the yoghurt off and it seems like such a waste. However, I do use a normal spoon for those yoghurts that come in buckets -- the one's that are meant to be low fat but it's 'low fat... vanilla and chocolate flakes'.

I eat pizza via my fingers, the thought of eating a pizza with a knife and fork seems like so much effort. Standard knife and fork for normal dinner that require a knife and fork, take that as you want. I only use a spoon normally for actual 'lunch' and/or starter for soup because I imagine trying to fork liquid into your mouth would be challenging.

Big spoons are always better than the little spoons.
 
I ate a Gourmet Burger using a knife and fork today....

Anyway, I usually just use whatever works. I'm not fussy at all. and if all else fails I just use the hands.

When I was at college, I would quite regularly forget to take a spoon to eat my yogurt with. Being too lazy to walk to the canteen, I'd improvise. Scoop it up with a chocolate bar, crisps or anything really. Maybe even fashion a spoon from the peeled off packaging or something. Nothing will get in the way of me and my food!
 
.... :ahmed:

Honestly.... Just give me a fucking plastic spork and I'm good to go. You're reading a post from the guy that mastered picking up instant soup noodles with a spoon. I can take on any utensil related challenge.

I prefer plastic over silver/metal/whatever the fuck it's made of, for a few reasons...

You can throw out the plastic spoon and not feel bad about it

You don't have to wash them after usage.

Silver spoons have a weird taste I don't like on them. :P

Anyway, you could give me a fork or a spoon. I've mastered all the ways you can use both. Nothing catches me off guard.
