My aunt, wife and I were at dinner. My aunt ordered ribs and ate them with a fork and knife. I judged her... Until 2 guys sat next to us and ate their chicken wings with a fork and knife. Now tonight was about 5th time I’ve seen it this month. I feel like I’m being Punk’d.
Maybe i’m a thick skulled caveman but certain foods need to be eaten by hand.
Why?
Thats literally what I'm asking Lemme
I'm asking why certain foods must be eaten the way you prefer to eat them. It doesn't affect you or me in any kind of way, like lgbtq relationships don't affect my cishet relationship. Unless my partner is secretly gay or bi, but that's on my partner for not being ethically non-monogamous, eg, not having my consent to a non-monog relationship, and a whole other topic.
Where in the world is this?
I’ve been seeing it at pubs primarily. Not talking about somewhere posh or expensive. Which is maybe why it stood out to me. I felt like I was in that episode of Seinfeld where George eats his Snickers with a fork and knife. Then I just started seeing it more and more and was like ok, what did I miss?
That doesn't answer the question. Where are you located on the planet? I've never seen it around here (NC USA) and I've never seen anyone talking about it online (before you) and I've never had anyone talk about it irl.
New York City, so far in 3 different boroughs: Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan.
This reminds me of the controversy when the last NYC mayor ate pizza with a knife and fork. I’m surprised he survived that one
