It's called "finger food" for a reason, that reason being you are supposed to use your fingers to eat it. Like chicken nuggets, pizza rolls, egg rolls, pigs in a blanket; all are meant for your grubby little paws to touch and lift to your pie whole.
Please don't insult the inventors of pizza rolls by eating them with a fork just so you don't have to touch them.
What are you scared of?
Dirty fingers? Wash them.
Germs? Too late, they are millions of germs on the plate you just put your food on.
And the only acceptable time to use a fork while eating french fries is when there are more toppings (and this does not include ketchup) than fries themselves. And what is the point in cutting a chicken nugget?! Is it too big to just take bites out of when it's whole? Don't answer that, because it's a rhetorical question. They are nuggets, therefore being smaller than normal chicken pieces. Having to adapt to societal norms, I can't cut all my steak at once without getting rude stares, same goes for my pancakes and waffles. So no one should be able to baby themselves so much that they can't pick up a french fry with their hand!
Thank you for this. All those elegant knife-and-forkers who take to chicken wings like they're filets, carving them up all dainty-like, one pinkie in the air, really make me feel like a brute. And now you've made me feel o.k. about myself again. So I get wing sauce on my face and have to keep from licking my fingers in public. Now I know. I'm o.k.! I'm o.k!
