For the most part I use a fork. If I am eating chicken wings or fingers or pizza or a sandwich or something I will eat with my fingers but I really wouldn't want to eat a plate of spaghetti with my fingers. Especially if I am eating two or three different things together (like pork chops and mashed potatoes or anything like that) It would just be too messy and I would be using napkins like they were going out of style.

JUST SEEMS LIKE THE FOOD TASTE BETTER WHEN I USE MY FINGERS, OF COURSE THERE IS ALWAYS A TIME AND A PLACE FOR EVERYTHING, BUT I PREFER MY FINGERS MOST OF THE TIME.

That would depend on the nature of the food I was about to eat. If it was something with sauce or gravy on it, then it would be far to messy to pick up with your fingers. However, when it comes to KFC, burgers, pizzas, kebabs, baguettes or anything like that, I would prefer to use my fingers. It also saves on washing up to use one's fingers and that to me, makes finger food all worthwhile! :-)

Like some of the others who have responded already, it depends on what I'm eating. I usually use a knife and fork for most big meals, fingers for pizza, sandwiches and finger-foods, and curries (I use the nan bread as a scoop for the sauce & meat - yummm), but I love using chopsticks when eating chinese food. It's fun, and as I can't shovel it all in as fast, I find I can eat more in one sitting, and it digests better.

I think it depends on what i am going to be eating...hmm pizza i use my fingers... chicken i use my fingers, forks for most other meals. But then again if you get a really yummy chop with the bone in it.. yummmm! and then you find yourself licking the yummy taste of your fingers hehehee.. mind you i would only do that at home. I think it is quite funny when you see someone trying to use a knife and fork when eating a pizza or fried chicken... its all finger lick'n good :)~

It depends on what I am eating, but like to eat most foods with my fingers, even though mama taught me better. Forks, I use for veggies and spoons for canned fruit. I just prefer most meats with my fingers. I do it with finesse though, I don't look barbaric when I do it.

I use my fingers to eat. Or in other words my hands. I don't like eating with spoons or forks. What the hell is fork. It also depends on what you are eating and where you are from. You think you can eat rice with fork. What the hell? It's way better to eat with your hands.

If you wash your hands very good, is healthy for you to eat with your fingers, or if you eat with a fork a wooden one is preferable, the ones made of metal are bad for your teeth.

If Im eating at home especially fried, grilled, and dry foods I prefer eating by finger. Its just like going back to your childhood days when you feel like eating you just pick it up.

i definately prefer eating with my fingers when eating rotis while i would go for a spoon while eating rice or similar items. so there is no scope of using a fork.
