Title: using your fingers,
Post by: alfred on April 11, 2022, 08:18:38 AM
Its noticeable if say you go into a Mc Donalds  and sit at a table eating the meal with your fingers , is this really a healthy way of eating even though McDonald do supply plastic knifes and forks. not easy if your eating say a beef burger where you have to use your fingers to hold the burger,


even eating a Chinese take away where you have to eat a spare rib as there's no other way than use your fingers




Q;  have you any thoughts when it comes to eating, and using your fingers ,

I prefer to use my fingers.. I'm not too keen on using cutlery that others have used .
I saw a program about dirty kitchens.. Even so called 'posh' places can be mucky..
The things some of the kitchen staff do would turn your stomach..

How many times have you picked up your fork only to see dried egg ? yuk.
I always check the cutlery in restaurants and don't have a problem eating with my fingers.

At home just a fork or fingers is the norm.

I remember taking my parents into a McDonalds here many years ago and Mum asking not just for a knife & fork, but also a plate :)
