I can easily use all of those methods in a single day. Just had a chopstick lunch.

Uhm, it depends on the meal?  :huh:

I eat soup with a spoon, a steak with a fork and a knife, asparagus and chicken with my hands, cake with a fork, fish preferably with a spatula and a fork (or, if a spatula is not availanle, two forks) and sushi with chopsticks.  :huh:
:rolleyes:

Of course, it varies from meal to meal to a degree, but the majority of your meals?

There should be a 'standard'. I sometimes have soup and use a spoon. Most of my meals though are pretty solid knife and fork affairs (well...at home....).
Unless you always make sure to have exactly the same amount of meals of soup, sushi and regular food so as to ensure all your utensils wear out at the same speed.

Instead of knocking no some of our odd ways of eating - I'm just going to point out that Tyr asked what one uses in the majority of one's meals - not with the suggestion that one can only use one method.  It's okay if you don't know the answer. :hug:

To avoid being labelled with the facetious crowd, my main meals are probably equal amounts of knife and fork (meat and veg) or fork and spoon (stew, spaghetti etc.).

I like to eat rice with chopsticks.  White dudes are often impressed that I can do that. :cool:

Today was the first time I successfully gobbled up a whole chicken stew with rice using only the chopsticks. Pretty satisfied with myself.

As for the question, in which I presume he's wondering FOR THE MEALS WHERE YOU EXPECT TO USE A KNIFE AND FORK YOU FUCKING DUMBASSES I usually work with the knife throughout the meal. I only put the knife down if I'm feeling particularly lazy. It's simply not polite.

Plus putting down the knife is unsafe. You never know when a Jew or Black might wander by.  :P

During just a normal meal I usually use just a fork or a spoon depending on what it is I am eating.

The whole knife-fork-spoon combo is just for sit down dinners which are sorta formal-ish.

Nigiri sushi's a finger food.
All sushi is. :contract:  However, when I eat sushi with other people, I do have to use chopsticks, because all of them do as well, so I don't want to look like a brute. :x

Nah. You can always plug him with the fork. Even an enraged nigger will go down to a fork in the eye.
