I 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!
chopsticks are awesome for messy snacks
Yup, (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).
I should keep some toothpicks in my portable flatware case!
...how?!
Slide 'em between the tines & lift
Chop sticks for chips keeps fingers clean
What is "flatware"?
Dull cutlery: fork & knife, maybe spoon. No sporks, they are Of The Devil
Never heard that term before, I'd just say "cutlery". Or is this to distinguish between them and fancy cutlery?
I always assumed cutlery was just the sharp things and flatware was general table setting fare. "Flatware" might be a food service term?
