    Yes, I always use cutlery except when eating finger food.
    knife- right hand
    fork -left hand
    My left hand is retarded, I’d probably end up stabbing myself if I hold a knife in it.

  2. Akhenato says:

    Both as others have said. If I am cutting something I hold knife in right hand and fork in left to hold what I am cutting. I eat with fork in right hand.
    I can adopt to using less cutlery. I have some former association with Filipinos and they have a thing about eating with their fingers also, even in fancy restaurants for the elite classes in the Philippines.

    depends.. Here in the middle east.. its custom to eat rice and sorts with your hands (but never the left hand)..
    I just use a spoon..
    when I need to cut something, I hold the knife with my right hand. and stab the food using the fork with my left hand to hold the food in place whilst I cut it. then change back and use my right hand to hold the fork to move the food piece to my mouth.. Its frowned upon in all situations to use the left hand to move move to your mouth.. (unless some situtation like a relative of mind who is handicapped and only has use of the left hand)

    it’s sunnah to eat with your fingers? huh.. learn something new everyday… anyway.. i eat with my fork in right, when i’m cutting.. i’ll use the knife in my right and fork in my left.. or.. i use my knife in left to push food onto my fork held on the right ;o)

    i use whatever i feel like … fingers, spoon, fork , knife or even chopsticks.
    i try my best to use the knife with my left and fork with the right .. but when i get impatient, i just cut up all the food ( fork left – knife right ) and then eat with my right hand.

    i know its sunnah to eat from the fingers and i used to do that, but ifoudn that it was messy fro me, because i didn’t know how :9 so now i use spoon and fork i only use one….
    i never use knife i hole spoon in right hand and fork in left

  7. ?????? ???? ?? ??? ??????? says:

    I’d love to use fingers to eat spaghetti with fingers…….lolz…..I prefer finger for everything…when alone, I eat with fingers and always bread. When with others and guestes….eat with right hand and take knife in the left one….though people give me this weird look..I prefer eating with right hand.

  8. ??? ??Taylo says:

    I use silver wear for normal food and my hands for things like hamburgers and stuff.
    I am right handed so I would cut with the knife in my right hand and hold the food with a fork in my left.

  9. YLHG:Cuz only real men wear pink says:

    i use my fingers for roti, naan, pita bread, that kinda stuff
    for cutlery i use my right hand.
    lol @ phate: nice lil story, i think its calld a spork, i think i dunno lol

  10. SugaNsPi says:

    Well for things that are very runny like soups and stuff like that, I use my fingers. But if its something like a hotdog or hamburger, I use a spoon and fork.

  11. Phate says:

    hahaha
    I used to eat with a spoon and fork….but I found a spoonfork in my kitchen
    It’s shaped like a spoon, but has a little fork spike in it.
    knife left hand
    spoonfork right hand

    Fingers.
    Tastes better that way, and it’s a lot easier than having your meat fly off the plate if your “cutlery” slips.

  13. SHK says:

    depends
    if i’m eating pizza then with hands
    if i’m eating rice then with a spoon

  14. Zaru says:
