I prefer to use utensils for all of my food, especially in public, which I feel like has been more necessary during the pandemic. I don't like getting grease and food debris all over myself. Even foods like donuts or pizzas are eaten with a fork and knife. And who knows what I've touched between when I sit down and the last time I washed my hands. Plus, I'm always handling my phone which is probably disgusting given how little hygiene attention it gets.

Anybody else grossed out by "finger food" or find the cultery options superior for other reasons? Or if  not, why not?

i like to use utensils most of the time some things are just made to be eaten with your hands

Most burgers are total finger food, but the one I had tonight was total fork and knife, because it was large and well done. Utensils are for when your fingers just can't handle it, or your shirt just can't handle the amount of drippage that your finger aren't able to prevent.

I always use utensils unless they are finger food. Burgers, fries, these are finger food. I've seen people use forks on pizzas, that's just wrong.

When I'm outside and having oily food, I would prefer to use utensils purely because I try to avoid using public toilets if possible; I would need to wash my hands with soap in a public toilet if I wasn't using utensils.

When at fast food restaurants and having burgers and fries, burgers come in their food wrappers so I don't really have to worry about dirtying my hands. I try to make sure I don't dirty the rest of my fingers when picking up fries with the index finger and thumb.

I'm known to only use one hand to eat when I'm having fast food like burgers or pizzas. I like being able to have a clean hand to use my phone or touch stuff (e.g., pouring water and whatnot). Even though pizza is my favourite food, based on how I act, I'd say that pizza should 100% be only eaten using your hands unless you're uncomfortable for some reason.

At home, it's hands all the way unless I have to use my mouse when at my computer.

Ah but I agree that our phones are probably fucking dirty hahahaha. Looks like a matter of individual perception

I come from a culture where either is fine, but since I'm in the US, utensils are what I usually use

I cant get foood on my hands

Hands are superior

[wonderfulploo]

I agree. I especially hate it when my fingers smell like the food I just ate. For example, when I eat a really messy burger, afterwards my hand will smell like the grease from the burger for a good 2-3 hours

Eating pizza with a fork and knife like a gentleman!!!
