My kid's been using a butter knife to cut cheese. I give up.
Mine was seriously using a cheese knife to spread butter on Sunday. But he's only 4 so I'll cut him some slack :D
Haha. Mistakes happen at that age but if it continues you need to rip it out of his tiny little hand.
Plus = That will help improve her fine motor strength
(And the cheese will still taste the same, right?!) 😬
Nope. As a parent I have failed.
Mine uses a large sharp knife out of the knife block to cut cake, so I’ve failed too lol
Condolences my friend
No utensil related outrage comes close, to me, as people using FORKS to eat RICE. SOMEONE EXPLAIN THE LOGIC OF IT TO ME WHEN SPOONS EXIST
Haha. It depends on how hungry or lazy I feel. 🤷♀️
Next thing people will use knives to eat soup. 15 or so years since I first moved here and it still irritates me. I will die on this hill
I eat my peas with honey I've done so all my life It makes the peas taste funny But it keeps them on the knife!
Rice on its own. There's no excuse. Use a spoon. If it's a side dish like with chicken kiev knife and fork.
Okay so this is the first I'm hearing of eating chicken kiev with rice. I would still use a fork and spoon, and a knife just to cut up the Kiev.
People eating rice and curry with a fork: what is wrong with you
I definitely use a spoon for that one.
I was at a place that sells Hainan Chicken rice and they give me, an East Asian, a knife and fork for it. I asked for spoon and chopsticks.
Definitely deserves one star taken off the review for such outright rudeness
I got a fork and spoon recently ordering Hainanese chicken in the CBD. Made me feel so clumsy eating.
we might have been to the same place
Sarawak kitchen?
forgot
I've got a Spork. Is that wrong?
What else are you supposed to use? A spoon?
A cheese knife or a sharp knife. Definitely not a spoon.
