    A question I need answered. Why do U Western folks eat rice with a fork? Is it cos it's unclassy to use a spoon? Is it because you like the physical and mental challenge? Is it because you need to slow down your consumption of the carb? Such a mystery

      @liztai I almost always use chop sticks when it's Chinese style food. But Indian and Thai is a fork most of the time. Would only use a spoon if it's too liquid for a fork.

      @liztai A fork is 3-4 sticks mounted to a handle. Rice is meant to be eaten with sticks, I always thought.

      @liztai because spoons are for soup or dessert, now that you've made me think about it.

      @michael_martinez slowing down is a good excuse to use a fork imo!

      @liztai For me it comes down to whatever I have in my hand and if I can mix the rice with something else. It's also a way of slowing down how much rice I eat, since I love a good rice-based meal.

      @liztai secondary question — why isn’t it more normal outside of SEA to eat rice meals with a spoon AND fork?

      How do you push every grain of rice on your plate into your spoon?

      My takeaway is that Americans just don’t clean their plates.

      @liztai I don't see myself as 'western folk', but yes an european. I presume the idea is that I see rice as addition to the main meal which is meat. Like potato and meat, rice and meat and so on. I never eat rice with spoon, and the sticks 'eastern folks' use seems complicated. There, mystery solved. Hopefully.

      @AWolfInCheapClothing @liztai I guess the reasoning is that if you're not capable of mastering this kind of challenge, you're not worthy of greater things.

      @AWolfInCheapClothing @liztai I think that's probably right, but Western table manners are weird anyway. And they do involve a certain amount of challenge, yes.

      The "proper" way to eat soup is to sit straight up and bring the spoon to your mouth (without spilling anything!). And then you don't put the spoon in your mouth, but sip the soup (noiselessly!), from it's side (!), not the front. Again, without spilling.

      It's about the most difficult way you can use a spoon .

      @liztai@hachyderm.io
      I would guess it's because usually we see rice as a side dish, and since we're using a fork for the main fish we're to lazy to change

      @jeromechoo I've always found a way to clean my plate, though rice and peas were tricky. A fork was easier for that than chopsticks.
      (Now that I have neurological problems I just use a large bowl & soup spoon for everything. Am in awe of SEA two-utensil mastery 🙂)
      Some of it is just what we're taught as kids, handed down through generations. Rice was more common in mine but what I learned came from older meat & potatoes generations and what was most efficient for them, so knives & forks

      This Westerner eats almost everything with a spoon or fingers. I sometimes have the first couple bites with a fork while the stir fry or pasta is still very hot and I want to take an itsy bitsy bite not to burn my mouth, but then shift to the spoon, and it is a larger spoon, not a teaspoon.
