Rotini is easier to eat with a fork though. You can stab AND scoop.

Yea I disagree that is is easier but that is ok. We can still live in harmony.

I don't eat pasta with a spoon but I could see like whatever those tiny fusilli (fusillini?) are called or one of my favorites, orechiette.

 

[heelsandeers]

But explain how it isn't practical using a spoon for Rotini. Other than it not being the traditional method of eating.

it's not that it isn't practical or can't be done
it's that it's less practical than the traditional method

We’re eating at street-corner stalls, food trucks, and the grocery. Restaurants might not be here when we get back.

this article from a few weeks ago was a good read. long on the restaurant landscape being extremely crowded

there's no telling the amount of places that will have to close for good as a result of the Corona

My logic is any dish that has a combination of scoopable items WITH sauce is being attacked with a spoon. Point blank period. (My logic (Personally)).

RE: Rotini
I will acknowledge difficulty/practicality is a subjective thing.
One man's practicality is another man's rocket science.

Respect though.

Even orecchiette should be eaten with a fork, IMO.

Only pastas I can think of that would make sense using a spoon with is acini di pepe and fregula.

Pasta with a spoon? Sheesh

Step aside from what you NORMALLY eat, since I know only marikomorose eats this,

but what are you using to eat this with? And Why? Spoon/Fork? (Assuming this is being eaten with NOTHING else)

I *** with Velveeta.

That’s a fork job right there.

 

[Mark Antony]

A fork but I prefer the sauce to pasta ratio low to equal.

How do you feel about "chop sticks"

 

[DCAllAfrican]

How do you feel about "chop sticks"

I humor them every now and then but I don't feel the need to master that art/skill.

I'll eat Ramen with a Fork.
I will eat Fried Rice with a Spoon.

For those that are able to use them, more power to them.

I honestly don't care enough to put in the effort to learn THAT skill.

(No disrespect given at all)

Off Topic

I think some of these workers don't comprehend the point of using gloves in food establishments.

I saw one dude with A latex glove on his right hand. He was busing tables and doing other tasks. I was in the place for an hour and he never once changed the glove. He was handling CLEAN glasses and plates.

So he was essentially spreading the germs with that one glove.

It’s going to be a lot, I think. I don’t see how places that were barely making it before Coronavirus will be able to survive a lengthy period of decreased business.

Ramen with a fork? Whos mans

Ramen with a fork? Whos mans

I eat to eat. Method with the Highest ratio of simplicity/cleanliness will be used.

It isn't an audition.

I like ramen and pho with the fork/soup spoon combo.

a lot of restaurants have announced take out and curbside delivery - restaurants that were not really open to doing it in the past. but i'm skeptical that it will last

one day everyone announces stepped up cleaning, the next day no table service, the next day delivery and curb service only, and we're already seeing restaurants simply close

of course the same thing was happening 1-2 days ahead of us in belgium, france, netherlands, canada, etc.
it's a little crazy to watch

Why not chopsticks + spoon?

Why not chopsticks + spoon?

I suck at using chopsticks with noodles and I have no real desire to get better at it.

Yep same. I’m fine using chopping sticks with more solid things like sushi. Struggle with noodles though.
