Why, Oh, Why Do You Eat Cookies With A Fork?

Can you describe how the hell she made this work? I cannot imagine how anyone could do this.

I’m sorry for all of you who are for the cookie with a fork thing, but it drives me nuts because this person bitches about the amount of dishes in the sink, and then does this. Goddamn it, we have PAPER plates for tomfoolery like that, but she doesn’t use them. No, her cookies are on real plates, eaten with real forks. Freak.

One logistical problem I see with this – if said cookie is of the soft variety, could see this working. But if the cookie is of the hard variety, the act of inserting fork tines into the crispy confection could result in the sudden and unpredictable firing of tasty but dangerous cookie schrapnel straight across the room.

Cow sipping?

My husband eats all of his desserts on a plate, but not necessarily with a fork. He takes his dessert very seriously and bakes them all from scratch. A good dessert should have its own plate, where it can be presented beautifully for all to admire. If you insist on calling him a freak, then you do not get the option of eating his chocolate toffee cookies, his peanut butter brownies, his chocolate rasberry cake, his magic rainbow cookie bars, his carrot cake, his apple-cranberry pie, his caramel brownies, his triple chocolate cookies . . .

Your loss.

Um, ah …I’m available for adoption. I’m well behaved and was potty trained about forty nine years ago.
Very respectful of adults. And I had all my shots.

Must be some kind of Pavlov issue here. Drools…wags tail and waits patiently.

Somebody once wrote to Miss Manners and asked what was the proper way to eat potato chips.

(She replied something like, “With a fruit fork and a fish knife. Good gracious! What is this world coming to when people can’t simply pick up a potato chip and pop it into their mouth?”

I eat my peas with honey
I’ve done it all my life
Some think it’s rather funny
But it keeps them on my knife.

Do you get along with cats? Are you available to babysit my 22-month-old?

Wait–if we adopt you, then that means less dessert for me. The babysitting thing might be worth it though. I’ll have to talk to the husband and get back to you. Please don’t drool on the carpet while I’m away.

Got a bull, though."

Olde Amish joke.

So no one cuts off the crust of a whole pizza, rolls it up and eats it like a pancake?

Just checking.

For god’s sake, you mean no one else puts their pizza into a blender and adds some crushed ice to make a good pizza shake, sipped through a thick straw?

INCOMING!!! Mmmm, delicious!

I shoulda taken that chocolate chip for Bobby Kennedy in '68…

You roll up your pancakes to eat them???

BARBARIAN~!!!

Uh, what about those of us who hate pepperoni? (cringe) Do we toss it or offer it to someone else at the table? And why discriminate against us by forcing us to delay gratification by peeling it off?

I thought they used this all the time in Italy (where, y’know, pizza was invented)? Or are these AMERICAN pizza rules? :slight_smile:

Spoken like someone who’s never been to Chicago…

smiling bandit, the sandwich-with-chopsticks spectacle involved using the chopsticks as a sort of ultra-blunt pair of scissors to create bite-sized bits which could then be conveyed from plate to mouth in the usual manner. (She used the japanese-style pointy ceramic chopsticks.)

It was really horrible.

No, BARBARIANS eat with a sword and magic flail.
