I go to restaurants and see people eating pizza or spring rolls or French fries or other finger foods with a knife and fork. I don't get it. It seems so pretentious and looks ridiculous. Just pick it up with your fingers and eat it. Food is meant to be enjoyed. And there is nothing more enjoyable than licking your fingers.
If you are trying to lose weight, it makes you eat slower and eat less if you are eating small foods with a fork and knife. I did that for awhile when I was calorie counting and it worked well. I looked pretty damn stupid in restaurants though!
I see that in buffets a lot. As long as they're not bothering me about how I eat my food, I have no issues with how they choose to eat.
It does look weird! One thing that really gets me is people using forks in Asian restaurants, it is somewhat of a pet peeve of mine as I have always used chopsticks since I was a kid. My dad served two tours in Vietnam and he taught me to use chopsticks right along side a knife, fork and spoon.
