As the title suggests, when did this happen? How?
In my humble opinion, chicken wings should be eaten with your hands. Almost, as savagely, as ribs. But when the hell did people start eating them with utensils? It just, seems wrong on so many levels.
My ex did this because she didn’t like getting her hands dirty. If we were at a food truck or something without utensils, she’d eat them with her hands without complaint, it was just her preference.
It can also slow you down and help you be more mindful.
I won’t begrudge anyone their style.
As if eating chicken wings wasn’t already slowing yourself down
I didn’t care, I was just answering the question. To be quite literal, what you eat don’t make me shit.
Just for the record I don’t care either
I have never heard of this and I’ve never seen anyone doing such a ridiculous thing.
My aunt, wife and I were at dinner. My aunt ordered ribs and ate them with a fork and knife. I judged her… Until 2 guys sat next to us and ate their chicken wings with a fork and knife. Now tonight was about 5th time I’ve seen it this month. I feel like I’m being Punk’d.
Maybe i’m a thick skulled caveman but certain foods need to be eaten by hand.
Where in the world is this?
I’ve been seeing it at pubs primarily. Not talking about somewhere posh or expensive. Which is maybe why it stood out to me. I felt like I was in that episode of Seinfeld where George eats his Snickers with a fork and knife. Then I just started seeing it more and more and was like ok, what did I miss?
That doesn’t answer the question. Where are you located on the planet? I’ve never seen it around here (NC USA) and I’ve never seen anyone talking about it online (before you) and I’ve never had anyone talk about it irl.
New York City, so far in 3 different boroughs: Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan.
This reminds me of the controversy when the last NYC mayor ate pizza with a knife and fork. I’m surprised he survived that one
Uh, never? Sounds impossible.
Completely and totally agree
But your post presupposes that they did.
How would you even do that?
With delicate, ninja-like precision
When they decided they wanted to.
When did people start giving a shit about things like this?
When did people become so obsessed with how other people eat?
I’m just asking here. Trying to understand, thats all
When did people become so obsessed with understanding how other people eat?
As far as I know, they didn’t.
Were they boneless? I’ve done it with the overgrown nuggets that are boneless wings. It works well. They cut cleanly and they’re 1-4 bites of purely edible material. No sauce on your hands and efficient eatin’.
Regular bone-in wings? That’s nuts. Holding them is the only way to get anything like the proper angle of attack. Mess is inevitable and accepted.
Bone-in, nuts! I accept that when I eat them my face will be covered in sauce; too close to the eyes and i’m crying. But generally a sloppy mess and happier than a pig in shit as I’m doing it
