Do you like eating with your fingers?

Question

I mean messy stuff. For example, my wife love cutting up melons and eating the pieces with her fingers. She likes to pick at some of her meals with her fingers.

There are definitely some foods that you have to eat with your hands - fried chicken, ribs, cookies, and the like. And some cultures use their fingers almost exclusively.

I can go with the flow. I'm not anal about it. But, for the most part, I prefer utensils. I don't care to have juice and sauce all over my hands.

How about you?

I am more like you. If possible, I try not to use my fingers.
even with sandwiches, I’ll pick a diff food.
I recently tried a very good burger, I take it apart and use knife and fork.
ribs, same, I can use knofe and fork. I don’t like sauce all over my fingers.
crabs, I have to use my fingers.
Raw oysters, fingers and fork.
cookies lol…yes, fingers. It’s a snack.

I don't mind using my fingers for some "finger foods" when a fork or toothpick doesn't make sense. I prefer utensils because I don't like sticky fingers.

I'm happy to eat with my fingers if the food is right. But I really do like utensils. Like a sandwich is okay, but not stew or pasta. Please give me a fork and knife for those.

I do not personally like eating messy things with my hands. I prefer to use a fork.

Only bc it’s quicker & bc I’d like to eat on the go lol but if I’m sitting I prefer to eat slow & be present with a fork or spoon. I’m huge in sand so yeah living forks & melon is lovely cubes in a bowl with almond yogurt 😋

Come on, who doesn't eat BBQ Ribs with their fingers? Or fried chicken, french fries, pizza, rolls/biscuits, apples, celery, bananas, grapes, hot dogs, chips and salsa, tacos, etc? I don't worry about it because my hands are always washed for eating.

I like to eat with my fingers. I had some leftover steak today and I just took it out or the refrigerator and ate it with my fingers. It was yummy cold like that.
