Noodles- Fork or Spoon?

[LiveForTheLaunch]

After a heated debate with my mother about whether it's more appropriate to use a fork or spoon to eat macaroni or any other variety of noodles, I decided to consult you guys .

I use a fork. Personally, I am appalled that she came into my room to serve me macaroni with a spoon!

Fork, it'll all just slip off of the spoon, so frustrating </3

Chopsticks...just to be difficult here :wink:

For 'proper' stringy noodles (and spaghetti) it has to be a fork. Spoons are just useless for that...

For things like Macaroni Cheese though, a spoon can work.

Chopsticks +1

Hang on, isn't macaroni a pasta rather than a rel noodle? Pasta I always eat with a fork. None of this spoon business

I thought this, but I think they're strictly noodles just shaped like pasta:

Isn't it:

Noodles = Asian

Things like Hokkien Noodles, Ramen, Udon, Soba, Cellophane etc.

Pasta = Italian/European.

Things like Spaghetti, Fettuccine, Macaroni, Fuslli etc.

I mean, if someone said we were going to lunch at a Noodle Bar, I wouldn't expect to find mac and cheese, or spag bol on the menu, would I?

Fork is the answer, irrespective.

BIN is the appropriate option, since they're basically just foreign pasta.
But from a non-biased point of view, we'll go with fork. Even for pot noodles etc.

Don't be absurd Will, you drink Pot Noodle from the cup provided!

 

[Ben]

Fork.

But, they're also obviously not a noodle.

Noodles are so much fabber with chopsticks <3 Actual noodles, though, obv.

 

[Colossus]

Fork, always,

 

[Youngster Joey]

Fork for things like sphagetti and linguini

Spoon for things like elbows or Mac and Cheese

Chopsticks for lo-mein ramen etc

 

[ATTACKHAMMER]

It has to be fork!

 

[tks]

Chopsticks. Because i'm pretentious and cultured.

 

[walker1104]

Fork. Just makes everything easier.

 

[Tomatron]

Chopsticks if I'm out to impress. Fork if I'm lazy.

 

[Xpress]

I use a knife.

 

[furie]

Fingers. God gave them to us a for a reason.

By that logic, we should also be able to eat with our feet...

And... there's an image you didn't need, right there
