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

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

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.
