1. Salad or pop corn with a spoon? That's just weird

[UTUSN]

4. What do you eat those with, fork? Forks are for piercing, spoons are for scooping.

[redstateblues]

23. You scoop lettuce? I eat popcorn with my fingers

[Dagstead Bumwood]

38. Everyone knows that

forks are for Snickers bars.

[flor-de-jasmim]

26. I put parmesan and dill on the popcorn--then I eat it with a spoon.

[Lefta Dissenter]

2. Chopsticks

My go-to for each of those selections.

[UTUSN]

6. My motor skills are deficient!1

[Skittles]

22. that's how I learned to use chopsticks

I practiced on nuts, popcorn

[Harker]

27. And now you catch flies?

I've had to make the transition from blunt chopsticks to pointed ones.

Surprisingly difficult.

[Skittles]

28. I ....er.....blunt chopsticks?

there's something easier? I've never been a pro at chopsticks, I have to concentrate too much

[Harker]

34. It's hard for me to get the pointy ends

coordinated. The blunt ones I used in the 60s and 70s were easier, but that might've been from habituation.

I'm a pretty fair hand with a fork, too.

If there's good food around, I'll work something out.

30. I am hopeless with chopsticks. Once while eating at a Japanese sushi & steakhouse

restaurant owned by Korean friends of mine, their kids badgered me to try eating with chopsticks. I was so incompetent that their mom brought out a pair joined by elastic, which are used to teach little kids to handle them. I still couldn't do it.

[Harker]

33. Practice is the key...

I ate for many years with nothing else, and still do at most meals.

I've become deft enough to confidently snatch up a grain of rice, but it did take time.

I do use a fork for spaghetti, and a spoon for soup.

3. Chocolate mousse

Yummy.

[2naSalit]

5. None of the above...

Ice Cream! And pudding, and ice cream cake.

And then there's jello which you could eat with a fork.

[UTUSN]

8. You *get* me!1

[2naSalit]

10. ***

[MontanaMama]

12. Imho...jello should not be eaten ever.

Other than that, I agree with everything you said. As usual.

[2naSalit]

16. I agree.

I think the last time I ate that nasty stuff was the last time I was in the hospital and that was decades ago. Even whipped cream can't help that stuff. I was never all that fond of it especially after I learned that it was made partially from seaweed. I lived in a fishing town in Maine and when there wasn't fish harvesting going on there was seaweed harvesting! They would get the sea grapes stuff and fill up their skiffs, many at a time and bring them to the pound to weigh it up and get paid.

Now I would think it was a better ingredient but then it was like thinking it was seriously wilted lettuce or something like that.



Still it's not something that fits into any food group that I would recognize. In Idaho and Utah, I know it's a big thing, particularly the green jello which I find among the most offensive flavors.

7. Peanut Butter!!!

Fresh jar and a glass of cold milk to drink!!

HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

[UTUSN]

9. Yea, without BREAD!1

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

11. Popcorn.

Fingers.

I suppose someone with mobility or dexterity issues might need to use a utensil, but seriously?

[UTUSN]

13. Not mobility/dexterity --------- we/some don't like to get fingers messy!1

[2naSalit]

17. May I suggest

chop sticks or tongs? I never thought of eating popcorn with a spoon.

[UTUSN]

21. See post #18!1

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

24. Oh, so you like the dreadful and probably poisonous crap that

passes for butter on popcorn. Shudder.

I'm a purist. Salt is all popcorn needs.

[yellowdogintexas]

39. I only use actual butter on popcorn.I add it to my silicone popper

with the popcorn which is the real thing, just the kernels no additives.

It is wonderful. No artificial crap for me

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

40. Real butter, yes.

And good for you.

[dweller]

14. Tiramisu !

[UTUSN]

You're just trying to stir shit up.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

45. Pizza. Especially at a restaurant in NYC.

Some might prefer sporks, but spoons is the traditionally accepted way to eat pizza.
