Why do people in some places eat using knife and fork?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Some cultures eat with their hands, some with chop sticks. Where knife and fork are used, it could be said, simply: that is just how things are. But, there is also more to it than that--

As to cultural origins, eating with utensils is, no doubt, an exercise in class distinction. Using utensils separates the people with (at least a modicum of) social standing (class) from those without. Among those having higher levels of social standing, wealth and class distinctions are further put on display by use of utensils made with varying degrees of crafted ornateness and of more or less content and value of precious metals.

Another reason -- and this reason also touches on the question as to why Asian emigrants to the west do not more readily, or in larger numbers, adopt utensils over chop sticks -- is that knife and fork are simply the most efficient solid-food eating implements over all alternatives (including chopsticks, including hands). Because efficiency (in contrast to oriental reverence for tradition and for one's elders) is and long has been regarded highly in the west, it is there that fork and knife are and have long since been the standard utensils for eating.
