I use flatware when eating everything, including finger food. My friends only made fun of me when I ate crisps with a fork.

I will remove the top bun from hamburgers and use a knife & fork to cut little wedges out of them. Fewer carbs & no sloppiness!

chopsticks are awesome for messy snacks

Yup, (non-slippery) chop sticks are the absolute best for most crisps or cheesey-sticky-powder related snacks.

Lacking chop sticks, wooden tooth picks or barbecue sticks will do in a pinch (or stab).

I should keep some toothpicks in my portable flatware case!

What is "flatware"?

[-] JackiesFridge@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Dull cutlery: fork & knife, maybe spoon. No sporks, they are Of The Devil

[-] PatMustard@feddit.uk 3 points 10 months ago

Never heard that term before, I'd just say "cutlery". Or is this to distinguish between them and fancy cutlery?

[-] JackiesFridge@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I always assumed cutlery was just the sharp things and flatware was general table setting fare. "Flatware" might be a food service term?
