Good lord. Whatever will j-ref come up with next?! :souka: :D
I use a fork, twirl not cut, and occasionally a knife to push stray ends into place. :liplick:
Roughly the same.Quote:

The spoon is only brought into play at a nice restaurant, and even then I find msyelf using it reluctantly.
I cut my spaghetti and eat it with only a fork
When there is meat to cut, like chicken permesean or sausages, I use a knife, but mostly I only use a fork and twirl my spaghetti.
When I was in Japan, I used to use a spoon when the sauce had a lot of liquid in it to not splatter because I heard that was the proper manner.
I've seen a person who cut his spaghetti into a bite size with a knife and ate it with a fork in US.
I normally eat spaghetti with a fork, but it depends on what's in it (i.e. meatballs, sausage, etc.).
I only use a fork.
I use a fork. It's fun to twirl spaghetti
Gosh, this thread made me think of a documentary film I saw when I was a kid of the Italian spaghetti harvesters picking the spaghetti off the trees in Northern Italy.
Usually with fork only. Occasionally, fork and spoon. Aghh, I missed carbonara... hehe...
I mainly use a fork, but sometimes I have been known to put it on some toast and make a sandwich.
This is a strange thread, but...
I usually eat spaghetti with just a fork. Sometimes with the help of a spoon. If I have no choice, I'll use chopsticks, but as I am in the habit of slurping noodles that enter my mouth via chopsticks, it can make for a bit of a mess, so I really try to avoid it!
If there is extra sauce after the noodles are gone, I'll use a spoon without exception to finish it off!
I'm a fork man too! Half the fun of eating spaghetti is twirling it on your fork before shoveling it in your mouth!
:cool:
I eat mine with fork and spoon, but my husband eats them with knife and fork.
I also use a fork and spoon. Minty and I are civilised compared to the rest of you barbarians ;-) :p
Okay, I can dig a fork, but a spoon??? You've got me all confused, Tsuyoiko! But I'm civilized with a "Z"! So there!
:D
We will civilise you yet! Listen well, my padawan: take your spoon (preferably a soup spoon) in your left hand and your fork in your right. Lift a forkful of spaghetti onto the spoon, then twirl the fork around, using the spoon to hold the spaghetti as you twirl. When it is fully twirled, lift the fork to your mouth. If you get any on your chin you don't get any tiramisu! :D :pQuote:

Jeez Louise, boss! That sounds like a whole lotta work, just to be civilised! Especially for an admitted lazy bum like me! Heh! But I can live without tiramisu! Too many calories for my liking, and I'm trying to keep my weight down!Quote:

Personally I love slurping! Whether it's spaghetti, noodles, soup, wine of coffee, I slurp. It just tastes better! (I didn't make this up, the more oxigen you have in your mouth while eating/drinking, the better you can taste)
I use fork only, and use cut and twirl method. Sometimes it helps to use garlic bread to shove it onto the fork.
I use chpsticks to eat all food! Even Slippery Fish ball!
A spoon is a must!!!!!Well i can manage with only a fork but i prefer it when i have both of them.
