Does anyone else use a knife and fork for everything?

[Skywalker]

Hello

Twinkles6892's post about apples got me to thinking about how I use a knife and fork for everything.

Even things that most people seem to normally just pick up and bite, like for example apples, peaches, hot dogs, burgers, pizza, chicken wings, chocolate bars...anything. I HAVE to eat them with a knife and fork.

My family is always teasing me about my knife and fork habit and I am wondering if anyone else out there does this also?

Or maybe I really am weird?

LOL.

So I would prefer to think of that as being "endearingly quirky."

I hate just picking up fruit and eating it. Everything has to be cut. idk about chocolate though lol

Most of my food I eat with a fork and knife... Not chocolate bars though...
people laugh at me the most when I eat French Fries with a fork, or pizza with a fork and knife, oh and I never eat fruits or vegetables with my hands..

Well how do you eat it? With your *hands*?

Do you work at Wendy's? I got chili last night and they gave me a knife and fork but no spoon

How do you cut an apple with a knife and fork? I always peel apples and cut them into slices but I can't remember ever using a fork on fresh fruits except for melons and pineapple.

Only when I am (they even forbids contractions) with my grandparents. They were raised by very formal English and Prussian families, so she would have a heart attack if I were to even act slightly unladylike.

I still find myself using a knife and fork for some weird things even at a casual dinner though.

Ok you are the only the second person I have ever heard of or seen eat chicken wings with a knife and fork. The other was my mother. We finally broke her of it though. lol She did have it down to an art. It amazed me how she could get every little bit of meat off.

Myst

Not quite sure how that works with a chocolate bar. But, I have eaten ribs with a knife and fork once. It started out because they were messy and I was still preparing food for my son while trying to take a few bites myself. My MIL made an "under-her-breath" comment about it, so I continued to do it for the whole meal. It was a PITA, but it gave me pleasure to tick her off just a little.

Other people can do what they want, NOMB, but I have a HUGE problem when my DH uses a knife and fork to eat pizza out in a restaurant. I want to hide under the table. I can't believe I am married to such a nerd! LOL

My husband eats everything with a knife and fork - including a sandwich. He has eaten a chocolate bar with his hands, but he would prefer to use a knife and fork. Quirky!

Chocolate bars? You use a knife and fork to eat a chocolate bar? That is endearingly quirky

I do that sometimes. Often times the pizza is really too hot to handle and I don't want to burn my fingers and/or the roof of my mouth eating with my hands.
