Left or right hand , which 1 you use to hold the spoon?

In my country India. Most of us use our Hands for eating food and we use spoon/ forks only if we go for an eatout to restaurants and other food courts. There is no definite rules regarding which hand to use for holding the knife, forks etc over here

We mostly get to know our hand dominance by the time we use utensils for the first time. If we hold the spoon with one hand, that hand would either tell one from a right handed person to the left handed one. Eating is one of the basic instincts that we have so, we can't help it if we use one hand and not the other. Then again, I know left handed people who still use their right hand to hold the spoon. I guess that they got the habit like that. I'm right handed and hold the spoon with my right hand but, I really do fancy using my left hand for other things like, writing.. I do want to learn how to write with my left hand (^_^ )

well i use my right hand since i am a right handed person! i use my right in most of my works and use left to hold fork and do some jobs to help my right! have a nice day!

Good has given us two hands , each one of same size ,same strengh & same colour. It is yours point of view that whether right hand is to be used or left. So , Its human who makes such auspicious things of right or wrong ,colour & creed not God. So, According to me it doesn't matter which hand you use.

I think different cultures view different rules for these table manners. However, when using fork and spoon, it is a standard that fork is at the left and spoon at the right except for the left-handed it will be the other way round.

I use right hand to eat and write same almost people.It is happened when i was young.Maybe it is inherit same my parents.About this case concerns inherit family.

I am right handed so I used my right hand for spoon and fork in the left hand. But when I am doing something like texting or calling I use my left hand. I can use my left hand if my right hand is so tired. Both of my hands can do the same job and very helpful, although my right hand are used to durability and strength.

Since I am right handed, I always hold a fork or a spoon in my right hand, I have never used a fork and a spoon at the same time, so I always use my right hand. The only time that I hold a fork in my left with food is when I am using it to cut up food with a knife, and so I hold the knife in my right so it can be more steady, and hold the fork in the left the guide it.

hi zearah, i eat some food with spoons as said by you and some food with hand directly right hand only

well i am also doing most of the stuffs with my right hand and also holding spoon or knife with my right hand......just because i'm a right hander and i will continue to do so.........

I use always my right hand in holding spoon and left hand of fork. And also in doing some activities at home, using same hands. I felt comfortable If thats the way I move my hands.

Well, here also in India, people believe the same. But, I don`t do. We have got both hands to work. So, i am ambidextrous. But, for spoon, i generally use my left hand, that`s childhood habit. Happy Mylotting!!

I am left handed, so my spoon is generally in my left hand...I can eat with my right hand, but I usually hit my nose! I know that when I was in the first grade, and I was the only kid in my class who wrote with my left hand, my teacher tried to get me to write with the other hand. I wouldn't, but she pushed me very hard and I don't write all crooked like most left handers, I have very nice penmanship.

LOL at this discussion. I was about to make one similar to this. Good thing I searched for it first. We're from the same country. However, I'm not a Muslim but we're still KABABAYAN! =P Good to find another here. Anyway, yeah, this was one of my issues when I was a child. My parents would train me to hold the spoon with my right hand because that's what we consider here as PROPER. I just couldn't make it! I'm a left-handed gal. I use my left hand when I write and I can't do it with the right hand so I guess that's where that issue came from. Now that I've grown up, I doesn't matter to me anymore nor it does to my parents. They just leave me along ahaha. I think I should stop now. Happy Tuseday evening, my friend. See you around.

Since I am a right-handed person, so most of the time I hold the spoon by my right hand. But it's also OK if you hold the spoon by your left hand. It is just up to you. I love China

I hold my spoon in my right hand, knife in the right hand and fork depends on the food. if i have to use both knife and fork at the same time then fork would be in left hand, if no knife is needed then fork switches to right hand

I use my right hand for both my fork and my spoon. I don't even think I could eat right with my spoon or fork in my left hand, I am just not used to that. The only time I would hold the fork in my left hand is if I was cutting with my right hand.

I am a right handed, so I hold the spoon with my right hand. I am a Filipino, but I'm not sure if I have heard about this, I maybe have and just doesn't pay much attention about it.

I use my right hand when I eat, and left hand when I write. I don't know why but they said that I'm a left handed person, but for me both.Hehe

I'm left handed. I hold my spoon in my left hand. When using a fork and knife I have the fork in my right hand and the knife in my left. I do know that in some cultures it is considered an insult to eat with your left hand.. Is it an insult in the Phillipines? Can you explain why the right must be used when eating? I am curious.
