What do you prefer Eat with Hand or Eat with Spoon and Fork?

I do much prefer to eat using spoon and fork rather that eating with my bare hands. Its more comfortable and im already use to it. Another alternative is using chopsticks, especially when i am eating in a japanese restaurant i use chopsticks.

All depends on situation. If at home I always use chopsticks. But in Malay or Indian restaurant, I used spoon & fork and sometimes with hand.

Hi, Well... I usually eat with a knife, spoon and fork. If what I eat is something that is usually eaten using one's hand, then that's what I do as well. I like eating pizza using my hands. Chips as well. I guess it just depends on the food that is served.

Eating with our bare hands is a way to enjoy eating here in the Philippines. Especially when you are with your family or friends. But more often than not we use utensils whenever we eat. But when we go out on a picnic or go swimming with friends most of the time we use our hands to eat and share the foods. It's a lot of fun. But of course when we are on a restaurant, we utilize spoon and fork and if we're on a Chinese or Japanese restaurant we use chopsticks.

I always eat with utensils unless you consider holding a sandwich eating with your hands.

I mostly use chopsticks to eat.Sometimes I use a spoon to eat soup and rice.

Most of the time, I eat rice with the use of a spoon; at home or outside the house. During weekdays when I do have to go to the workplace, I eat rice and viand for breakfast using a spoon. I also bring along with me 'baon' consisting of rice and viand which I eat during lunch time in the company premises using a spoon. There are times when I do eat rice with my bare hands specially during certain occasions with the family and when the foods served are more easily eaten using the hands. For instance, if we have an occasion which we have to celebrate by the seaside, we would usually have fishes, shrimps, and crabs. Normally, these are 'hand-foods', if you know what I mean. Sometimes at home, my husband and I do eat with our hands because we feel that the food is tastier this way. Other locals also feel this way but I guess this is quite psychological. If I'm not mistaken, there was one instance where I ate with my hands in the office. It was a couple of years ago when we had our company's anniversary celebration and we had a 'boodle' fight. But it's very rare that we eat with fork and knife at the same time while eating.

It all depends on what i'm eating ^_^ If i'm eating noodles, i will be using chopsticks and spoon.. But if i'm eating rice, it will be fork and spoon.. When it comes to chicken chop etc, it will be knife and fork for me ^_^ But when it comes to roti prata or bread, chicken wings or other fried stuffs, i will surely be using my hands, because those things will only taste better when eating it with our hands.. haha

I don't prefer eating with hands,thats why I require a spoon or a fork. Eating with hands is a bit unhygienic.

Hi jnk3dfx, I know people in your country is used to eating with your hands as we had friends from your country who has visited our home and ate with their hands, but I prefer to eat with my knive and fork or spoon and I can never eat with my hands. Tamara

hello friend, i think it just depends on the person habit.if a man has the habit of eating with the spoon and fork,he don't have the habit of using hands to eat possibly.Because he has been familiar with using the spoon and fork.and another example, for me, nether hands nor spoon and fork is suitable to eat with. I amused to eating with chopsticks,Because from my childhood till now, i use the chopsticks to eat all the time. I know it is so different from you.Because we are living in a different place and accept the different culture.lol good luck

It would depend on what kind of food I am eating, If it is a Seafood then I would used my bare hand specially for Crab, Lobster and even for fish except if it is boneless but most of the time I do used a spoon and fork......

I always prefare eat with hand.

Hey there! Well it depends on what food I'm gonna eat. If it is fried chicken I'll go with my hands. I usually eat with spoon and fork.

Like you, it depends on what I am eating. For a dinner of meat and vegetables I prefer to eat with a knife and fork. For chinese food, I could never manage chopsticks so I prefer to use a spoon and a fork or sometimes I just use a fork. I like to use a fork for puddings and I use a spoon for soups and ice cream, although sometimes I make my soup in a cup and just drink it from the cup.

hi jnk3dfx I use knife, fork and spoon to eat most things with, but also I have to use my hands in that I hold the spoon or fork,lol. but I do use my hands to eat sandwiches with, and bananas and some fruit like apples and oranges.also fried chicken. I am from the USA.

I much prefer eating with chopsticks but if I had to choose between spoon & forks to eating with hands, I'd rather eat with spoon & forks... There are some food that just makes sense to eat with bare hands, like sandwiches, but most food I'd like to eat with utensiles

To eat by spoon and fork is otherwise a good habit form the point of view of health and cleanliness. Even the chop sticks are also of the same class. But we Indians use our hands and rather fingers for this purpose and we are so used to it that we don't get satisfaction when we use spoon and fork. I however sometimes use spoon and fork - when my nails are extra grown and not clean.

it depends on what i am eating.. i prefer to use spoon and fork when eating rice... chopsticks when eating ramen... knife and pork when eating steak.. =)

I use cutlery although I do use my hand with certain foods and I enjoy eating that way, I also like to share food with my family I love to watch my kids eat and see them really enjoy their food, they use cutlery..by the way.
