Do you use your fork a lot when eating?

In Denmark we use a fork and a knife in most situations. My parents taught me to eat pizza with a knife and a fork, but when I was living in Italy my friends laughed at me when I wanted to eat my pizza that way, because they eat pizza with their fingers. Now I usually eat pizza with my fingers, because I got used to that while I was living in Italy, and sometimes other Danes think that I am being impolite because I don't use a knife and a fork! In Denmark people use the knife during the entire meal. We cut a piece of food and then we eat it, after that we cut the next piece of food etc. I have lived in other European countries and I was surpriced when I discovered that it is considered impolite to eat like that at some places. In some countries they cut all the food at first and after that they don't use the knife anymore. I also found it a little funny, because in my country parents might do that if their children haven't learned to use the knife yet, but adults don't usually eat that way (in Denmark)

Hi, Mallen I live in China and we use to eat with our chopsticks. Maybe you are not familiar with chopsticks since they're different from your forks and knives. Last summer I went to a western restaurant and enjoyed the food with knife and fork. Frankly speaking, it is a little difficult for me to use. but it is a fantastic experience I have ever had.

Hi, MAlllen400. I usually will use a fork most of the time. This is my main utensil when eating most of the time. I do use a spoon for dipping, eating cereal with and grits. Anything that is mushy, I use my spoon for.

I use different tools depending on what I eat. When I eat meat or pasta, I use a fork, but for many other things I just use chopsticks. Of course, for soup I always use a spoon, but if it's noodles soup I use chopsticks too.

im from latvia and I always use fork for eating but i don't use knife. Why need to use knife when you eat ???

My dad who used to live in the States would often eat his meal with a fork and a knife. He use the fork like a spoon and finishes his meal with it. I am accustomed to using the fork and the spoon. And when these things are not present, I use my hands in eating. It's more enjoyable to eat with your hands if the meal is composed of a rice, grilled pork or sea foods and we dipped it in soy sauce or fish paste with calamansi or calamondin.

I live in the Philippines and we use the fork every meal because rice is a staple in our diet and we use the spoon to scoop it up and we use the fork for our viand. It is really hard to use just the spoon when scooping the rice so we use the fork often.

I sometimes use fork when eating if it is needed. Mostly Filipinos like me use our hands when eating.

I think I use my hands and my fork equally as eating utensils. Part of my family is japanese, so sometimes I use chopsticks, too.
