Forkey-Knifey.
Today, as one of my co-workers jokingly munched on Sun Chips with a fork, several of us noted that there are certain foods that defy the fork-knife law.
The fork-knife law is as follows:
Only under specific circumstances may a fork and knife be used as aid for the consumption of items deemed, “finger food.”
For example, pizza. When I see someone eating a slice of pizza with a fork and knife, I do a double-take. Now, there’s an exception to this rule, especially for pizzas overloaded with toppings. A pizza with every type of veggie can get pretty messy. So, a fork and knife isn’t always banned from use. However, if one uses a fork and knife to eat a meat lover’s pizza, the odds are very good that an ass will be kicked.
Another one of the fork-knife law foods are french fries. Eating plain french fries with a fork and knife is weird. Eating chili-cheese fries, while disgustingly delicious, sometimes takes the strength of a fork to get the calorie-loaded monstrosity into the food hole.
Buffalo wings also meet the criteria. Boneless buffalo wings, however, often require a fork and knife. The same is true for Mexican food. Tacos should be eaten with hands. Burritos should be eaten with hands. However, some spicy creations require a blade and a four-pronged instrument to devour.
Our final decision was that we should probably do something slightly more constructive with our lunchtime.
