When eating BBQ food do you prefer a knife and fork or a finger bowl?

Question

When eating sticky meat such as ribs or wings at a BBQ, do you prefer to use a knife and fork or tear the meat off with your fingers and clean up with a finger bowl

I don't think I ever ate with my fingers. I have been educated to eat with utensils because you can clean your hands as much as you want, they are never clean enough not to potentially have bacteria that may affect your digestive system.

And if there are foods that you cannot consume using civilized methods, then I simply avoid to have to eat them and concentrate on civilized foods that need a knife, fork and spoon to consume. Problem solved and you don't even need to wash your hands afterwards or to waste paper to dry the mess left by the foods that are not meant to be eaten by civilized people.

Knife and fork. I don't like when my fingers smell like food despite being washed.

I'm 58 years old, have never seen nor used a finger bowl ever. Typically I use a shitload of napkins. Occasionally they'll give you a slice of lemon and you can get the barbecue sauce off by basically washing your hands with lemon and napkins. I'm thinking to myself, if I go to a barbecue place and they have finger bowls, I probably don't belong in that establishment.

I don't know how it would be possible to eat BBQ ribs with utensils. Some foods are made to be eaten with your fingers.
And no finger bowls. I lick my fingers and wipe them on a napkin. When I'm finished eating, I wash my hands.

There is something delightfully primal about tearing into sticky ribs or wings with your hands. It connects you with the food in a special way, making the whole BBQ experience more authentic and enjoyable. 🌟 I love the messiness that comes with it and then using a finger bowl to freshen up. It's a tactile feast!

Fingers would be utterly disgusting to me , I like a proper BBQ a little more Civil , we do on the stick here , so its never a problem , a little decorum , some manners , a little dignity goes a long way...

How could you possibly eat a pork chop and salad without at least spoon and falk , utterly sloppy and disgusting any other way.

How are you supposed to clean the ribs with a knife and fork? Seems like something a lady would do. I eat 'em like this.

I am probably using a randomized approach, though in my area BBQ food means mostly sausages and skewers so, either with utensils or fingers, I don't really risk having anything all over my face

I keep it civilized and use a knife and fork.

Red_Arrow · Answer

I like to keep clean, so I answered utensils, I have other interests for using my fingers.

There is something primal about having a rib bone in your hand while you are knowing at it. It adds a sense of ravishment and zeal.

Aiko_E_Lara · Answer

Utensils or plastic gloves. I just can't stand the smell when it sticks into your hands no matter how much you wash it. Its just annoying.

SeriouslyNotSerious · Answer

Utensils. If I finger, I'll have to lick it after.

Iron_Man · Answer

We eat with our hands then we get a finger water bowl after at the restaurant

LiamS95 · Answer

I prefer a good dry rub rather then a sticky gooey saucy mess

nawtee_me · Answer

When it comes to outdoor cookery I am more barbaric than a finger bowl. The food should be finger licking good so that people can easily clean up with their mouth and a napkin. Those easily offended may want to turn their head…. lol

coachTanthony · Answer

Gotta use the hands and a nice warm towel (no pun intended)

buzzword · Answer

Just eat. Lick your fingers. Then go to the bathroom afterward and wash your hands in a sink.

Belle_Clinton · Answer

I prefer to use my fingers to savor every last drop of twat. But when it comes to BBQ, give me a knife and fork any day. The messiness of finger bowls just isn't worth the trouble. #BBQpreferences
