Got to keep the video. Cannae mind what it was. Was probably shite. Happened to me with a kilt at Falkirk Kilts, think I sold it in the yellow paper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnderooMFC Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 I'm another one for the fork in the right hand and never swapping it. Also when I'm in my own house I tend to just cut everything up in the kitchen and the knife doesn't need to leave the room (to get lost down the back of couch). For people who hand the knife back "unused"... why take it out the drawer? It's probably gonna get washed for being out anyway. Ex was one for cutting everything with the side of her fork. Unsure if she had the co-ordination to use both hands at the same time. Didn't work too well as everything just kinda slid around the plate whilst she tore things apart. Daughter insists on eating nearly everything with a spoon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbaxters Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Using a knife and fork properly should be a basic parental duty. Maybe we need to add it to the school curriculum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take all of the woke shit off the curriculum and replace it with how to use cutlery, roll cigarettes and drive cars instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally it's with things such as chicken strips where I end up deciding just to eat around the fork. Often use a spoon as well, usually with Chinese food. Though I've started taking a liking to using chopsticks so the spoon could become redundant soon. 10 hours ago, jimbaxters said: Using a knife and fork properly should be a basic parental duty.

I'm all for this, if you can give the kids a logical reason why it should be fork in left hand (Remember we've gone over how any idiot can cut using their weaker hand as knives are actually sharp nowadays and we're not living in Victorian times). You're up! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're up! Some people have grown up food to deal with and not just chicken strips. The fork needs to be less mobile to hold food than the knife does to saw, chop, push, prise or press. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think an adult who is admitting to using a spoon to eat Chinese food is best placed to pontificate about teaching children how to use cutlery 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManBearPig Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 This thread has become very odd. Just a bunch of doddery old farts whinging that the kids don't care about arbitrary nonsense. Must be because of disposable vapes and TikTok. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if you're capable of doing all that with your weaker hand. 3 hours ago, Rugster said: I don't think an adult who is admitting to using a spoon to eat Chinese food is best placed to pontificate about teaching children how to use cutlery What's wrong with using that? You get more rice on a spoon than you do a fork. Far better utensil for the job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoon is better for rice. Chopsticks are better for noodles (and anything else I have from the Chinese tbh). 55 minutes ago, jimbaxters said: What a picture you paint of modern life.

You've still not answered my question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
