Why do Americans eat with their fingers?
God blessed mankind with a knife and fork so as Americans are so religous, why do they eat with their fingers?
Note: To Americans, I have been there and seen, so don't tell me you don't!!
Answers:
Its still a young country and with evolution etc.. Lets face it, they are not the sharpest tools in the box are they!
I think you'll find they eat with their mouths.
Their talking seems to come from somewhere else at the same time.
Finger lickin' good! And proud of it.some foods just taste better from your fingers.
This question is listed under Atlanta..You're in the South baby! It's against the law to eat fried chicken with a fork. And there is no better feeling than ripping the meat from the bone on some ribs. And damnit! I like licking the greasy juices from those Varsity chili slaw dogs off my hand.
Ahhh, simple pleasures. They make me giddy.
The first part of the question cracked me up. You could apply that to so many things. "Hey, God gave you a tissue - if you're so religious, why do you wipe your nose on your sleeve?"
Anyway, some foods are better eaten with your fingers. Others are best with the fingers eaten separately.
.. i mean pizza. chicken.. duh
Cuz eating french fries with a fork looks silly. I live in Germany.I have seen it!
fingers were before forks
tons of people eat with their fingers. you sound very prissy
you are a special kind of idiot
Uh..for what food? I'm not gonna eat rice with my hands but I damn well sure am gonna eat a burger that way.
Not just Americans eat with their fingers. There are some foods that is the proper way to eat it. And besides fingers were made before knifes, forks and spoons. You sound like you are against Americans!!
Cutlery is banned there as they keep poking out their eyes with the forks.
He also taught us that cleanliness is next to Godliness.
Which means we wash before we eat.
Besides how else does one go about deating a sandwhich?
Oh yeah and having sharp objects is a violation of some peoples parole. moron
Americans are not the only ones who eat with fingers.Many others do.I do. somehow it just tastes better.. it makes a difference when you feel your food. its a skill. I have noticed that doctors who eat with their fingers operate better.
Africans do too! (lol)
let me tell u something.. Indians eat ONLY with their hands.. and we dont care!! similarly americans eat with their hands sometimes no biggie.
Hmmm, are you trying to say nobody but americans eat with their hands?
At least we are not afraid of getting our hands dirty.
That's because we like to stick our fingers up our asses and then eat with our hands. It gives a little flavor on the food.
Yes thank God for creating the spoon and fork. He is some kind of architect
Because they are slobs.
I'm not American but I'm enjoying finger eating too..
It's too hard to eat boned-foods without fingers..
because we aren't afraid to get messy oh yeah. plus alot of our foods are barbeque and that takes all the fun out of ribs if you use silver ware but i guess since all our food is made to be eaten on the move like hotdogs and hamburgers
How does being religious have anything to do with eating with fingers? When mankind first existed, there were no forks or knives; all we had was just two hands and 10 fingers. So, I can also argue that God blessed mankind with 2 hands and 10 fingers; why can't we use our fingers??
Not only americans eat with fingers even Indians do eat with fingers even with their neck tie on :-p believe me its true
well it depends what kidn of food ur talkign about. Im american we eat hamburgers, pizza, and fries with our fingers and thats all normal.
I'm English and i prefer to eat with my fingers than with cutlery
Because I think people would look silly eating a sandwich with a fork.
Some foods (eg sandwiches, hors d'oeuvres) don't require a knife and fork.
Are you referring to that, or did you actually see someone try to eat oatmeal off his fingers?
i don't know. I'am Indian and am the only one in my family that doesn't eat rice with my fingers. I think forks and knives are more hygenetic, because even after you wash your hands, there are about 25,000 germs per square inch on your body.
First off, God didn't invent the knife and fork, man did. God has nothing to do with whether you eat certain foods with your fingers or use utensils, so leave Him out of it.
Secondly, just about every culture in the world eats at least something with their fingers. Chips in Britain are not eaten with knife and fork. Gyros in Greece are handheld, as are tacos in Mexico. A lot of people eat sushi with their fingers instead of chopsticks. Ethiopian cuisine uses flatbreads as a a means to grab food from communal plates of bean and rice dishes. And who in the world eats a sandwich with knife and fork? There are some dishes that are meant to be finger-food, and others that must be eaten with utensils.
Bottom line: I'm willing to bet there's at least one food you eat with your fingers, and if you insist on eating everything with knife and fork, I'd suggest you lighten up just a little; there are a lot of other, much more important issues in the world to obsess over.
Most Americans are casual people. Formal eating requires knifes, forks and other stuff. Casual food requires casual eating, with your fingers, fast, comfortable and less dishes to do.
