minus-squareJackie's Fridge@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up15·7 months agoI 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!

minus-squareRegna@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·7 months agoYup, (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).

minus-squarePatMustard@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·7 months agoNever heard that term before, I’d just say “cutlery”. Or is this to distinguish between them and fancy cutlery?
minus-squareJackie's Fridge@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·7 months agoI always assumed cutlery was just the sharp things and flatware was general table setting fare. “Flatware” might be a food service term?
