Eating food off your knife

The same way as you would with your fork. Absolutely nothing wrong with it.

I do it at home and in restaurants. So should you.

Pffffff stabbing a big mac with a knife and eating it is not considered fine dining.

Very poor table manners there.

MsGiggles · 09-07-2015 12:25PM

I'll eat with my fingers in future !

Canteen in work has run out of clean knives a few times, so i used a spoon as a knife. Simpsons quotes can go to hell; it works.

I hate seeing people eating food off their knife or licking their knife. It is very bad table manners.

But do you only hate seeing it because it's bad table manners? Objectively, what is the big difference between placing a fork and a knife into your mouth? Why does it produce such a strong emotion in you to see someone eating from their knife - how does it really affect you or anybody else in any way except inside your head full of preconceived notions of normality?

If I'm in a restaurant, I like to lick my steak knife. I try and catch the eye of a woman on another table, then lick the pepper sauce very slowly off the serrated edge. It drives them absolutely wild, so it does.

There is a sort of decorum about it.....if you have been working hard and a plate of bacon,cabbage,turnips and schpuds are put up in front of you at home,it's aok to use the knife and eat from the back of the tines of your fork,as is talking as you slurp down a pint of cold milk.

If you are at a fancy french restaurant and eating terrine de canard or escalope cordon bleu,perhaps it is better to act more formally....decorum,ya know.

It's a damn good day you have something on the knife to lick off. Be grateful.

I agree but the same can be said about lots of things. I mean, people going out in public in pyjamas affects nobody else but the reality is that it's something that seems to upset lots of people because it's "wrong". That's the way of the world - see the thread about being snobby for how petty many people are.

Personally, it's not something I'd do but I wouldn't care at all if someone else did. I wouldn't do it in public because it's considered poor manners and I wouldn't do it in private because it just doesn't seem necessary or to add any advantage. It's just as easy to do it properly imo.

I'll talk to you again about 'what's the difference' when you're after cuttin your tongue.

The only time you can eat food with your knife is if you are cutting an apple.

Use the fork, that's what it's there for.

What if there's no table?

In old cowboy and western movies, cowboys are always seen standing at campfires slicing peices of meet off a roast, eating it from the knife and then we hear gunfire in the distance, they toss away the food they haven't eaten, re-holster their knife, jump on their horse and save the day. Sexy of anything.

Sometimes I like to peel a apple with a knife and pretend I'm John Wayne.

wendell borton · 09-07-2015 12:56PM

That's not a knife.......this is a knife.

biko · 09-07-2015 01:05PM

I do it sometimes but it not good table manners.

Kovu · 09-07-2015 01:25PM

But the fork leaks!

walkingshadow · 09-07-2015 01:30PM

I prefer to eat all my food off the belly of a naked woman.

A friend of mine did that and died.

True story.

Arbiter of Good Taste · 09-07-2015 01:43PM

And do you then go and stick the knife in the butter OP?

Disgusting table manners

Overheal · 09-07-2015 01:47PM

Do you want to know how I got these scars?

Ruu · 09-07-2015 01:48PM

What kind of a barbarian are you?!?! :mad:

I hate it because it's bad table manners and because I think there's something "off" about how it looks. It just looks a bit wild or something.

And you could say "how does it really affect you" about anything in the world. Sure why don't we all just tie nosebags around our necks and do away with cutlery and crockery altogether.

The only cool way to eat an apple is with a knife.
