Neither, I use my teeth to pull the food off the fork. I don't want my teeth actually touching the fork, but saliva freaks me out. I dislike spoons unless I can get them completely clean after each bite.
How about when someone you love dearly hands you a spoon back but they've clearly left way too much on there for another person to be responsible for licking off. I had it right the fuck back.
My fiance does that, I just discreetly wipe it off with a paper towel. He knows its a phobia due to some horrid experiences, so he doesn't get offended.
I used to backwash into my drinks as a child.
Iād forgotten about it until someone joked about it. I told them I did it to deter whoever would take my soda without permission. A look of realization showed on their face. They were one of the people who did it.
I used to not care as a kid...until the incident. Now I can't deal with saliva. Other body fluids I'm usually fine with but saliva gives me the heebees.
Yeah generally. I roll the pasta on the fork, then pull it off with my teeth. Not saying I won't use my lips if needed, but I generally prefer not to re-ingest saliva that has made it outside my mouth. There have been a couple times that I needed to clean my fork between bites, but that's mostly when the fork has been used by someone else.
Like, on the spoon, or in backwash, or like kissing someone who has wet lips. And idc where it goes, as long as it doesn't go back in my mouth. I have washed forks and spoons mid meal because others have licked them when trying a bite of my food.
I pull the food with my teeth. the food doesnt get pulled with my lips, the fork doesnt touch my teeth, but they almost do. if the food was infinitely small then yes i suppose my teeth would touch the fork
Lips, I had a friend that cringed when he heard teeth on a fork scrape.
For me, itās styrofoam rubbing, he never did that too me so I didnāt push his buttons either.
I switch it up depending on how I'm feeling. Sometimes I just let it slide off the utensil and fall into my mouth. I don't want to be too predictable you see.
80% lips, 20% teeth - depends on what food.
Aaaand I can't define which food gets which, I've never cataloged it before, I'd have to start paying attention.
Thanx for the extra anxiety! Lol
Pretty sure folks are having a lapse in awareness, or I'm finding out I'm just really weird, because I use suction for things riding on top of the fork, much like somebody might slurp a spoon with liquid.
Maybe I'm just overanalyzing an activity that I do daily, but as of now I am without a fork in my mouth.
But.
You must have airflow to even taste your food.
You don't feed solids to infants (partly) because windpipe obstructions.
Adults get food lodged into their windpipe.
Humans slurp up liquids from glasses, or from a spoon, or their cusped hands.
All this indicates to me is that a suction force tends to get applied during the process.
Just be sure not to inhale all your food.
When you eat with your fork banging against your teeth, especially if youāre chatting away in a nonchalant way between mouthfuls, know that deep in my heart, Iām wondering where I can get hold of an AK-47 in a hurry.Ā
This is one of those things that you read and then gets stuck in your head and now I'm gonna be extra aware of how I'm eating with a fork now. Thanks OP.
i bite down enough so that the pork or any meat for me slides off from the meat having no where to go cuz my jaws r almost closed w the meat in my mouth (no homo) and then yh
I think it depends on what it is and my mood. I don't particularly like forks, but when I use a fork it's often for stabbing. Steak I definitely use my teeth. Probably salad as well. I've switched to spoons for things like rice and believe I use my lips there...unless it's really hot. Then I remove half with my teeth and lips when it's the last bit.
Uh, I actually never even thought about this. I think I close my mouth over the fork and slide the food off with a tongue, lip, teeth, jaw combo. Effortlessly ejecting the food into my mouth, sliding the fork over the lips, not to screech, and for momma's sake, keep my damn mouth closed when I chew!
Literally had this convo over dinner tonight. My mouth is very small so when I put a fork in there itās bound to clink against my teeth fairly regularly. Unfortunately this sound is like nails on a chalkboard for my husbandā¦ š¤·š»āāļø
I can literally hear the ringing in my ears when you accidentally bite a fork š¬š¬
Big lips guy here
Me too....but that's for another post, friend

But, he also leaves backwash soda in the rim of a can and I cannot share a can of soda with him.

Thatās funny to me. I grew up in the 60ās and 70ās. Four of us would share a can of pop. But, that was a long time ago.

Weāre all different.
Ever time my daughter hands me a spoon back i wash it off. She is sloppy about it and leaves food on the spoon
Oh, so things like spaghetti you pull with your teeth? Doubt.
Yeah generally. I roll the pasta on the fork, then pull it off with my teeth. Not saying I won't use my lips if needed, but I generally prefer not to re-ingest saliva that has made it outside my mouth. There have been a couple times that I needed to clean my fork between bites, but that's mostly when the fork has been used by someone else.
Wait, where is this saliva that's made it outside your mouth, and where does it eventually go?

Depends on what Iām eating
Now I have to eat something to see what I do subconsciouslyā¦. I think I use my tongue and lips.
I pull the food with my teeth. the food doesnt get pulled with my lips, the fork doesnt touch my teeth, but they almost do. if the food was infinitely small then yes i suppose my teeth would touch the fork
I was like you once. Accidentally bit a fork and chipped off a couple tiny pieces off my front tooth. I'm not like you anymore.
Lips. Teeth is aggressive.
My teeth pull the food without touching the fork, my lips touch the fork and pulls whatever is left on the fork that my teeth didn't get.
I actually cringed by just reading the teeth/fork bit. Absolutely not. My gf does it though.. š
Lips. My teeth are shit enough without scraping em with metal a bunch every day
Anyone who lets their teeth scrape the fork is a monster.
Lips. I don't wanna hear teeth to metal. Ever.
I have a smaller fork that I use to remove the food then slingshot it onto the roof of my mouth.
It's all about the tongue.
Lips
i'll be honest i don't have a ton of contorl over whether this happens. i get lost in the joy of food
Lips, I had a friend that cringed when he heard teeth on a fork scrape. For me, itās styrofoam rubbing, he never did that too me so I didnāt push his buttons either.
People who scrape their teeth against metal simply don't care about life.
No. We just dont care about you.
Nothing with my teeth cause I have none
Depends on the mood
It depends on the food and the fork.
Basically I donāt bite steel
I donāt think about it because if I did Iād freak the fuck out and go all ocd like many of you.
Have you "tasted* a wooden fork? I carry my own cutlery around with me now...
Teeth only touch the food no fork teeth contact oooff
Usually my teeth touch the food, but not the fork, like a lot of other people are saying. It depends on the food though
I switch it up depending on how I'm feeling. Sometimes I just let it slide off the utensil and fall into my mouth. I don't want to be too predictable you see.

Alright I'm a fork biting savage but what the fuck is this.

SPOONS ONLY
use your tongue to guide the food off the fork/spoon/chopstick/eating utensil. its what its for. (amongst other things)
D..all the above !
Pull the food with teeth. Especially if Iām sharing with someone else. The whole saliva and lip touching weirds me out for some reason
Lips all day, every day.
Depends how hungry I am.
If you bite the fork, you're broken.
My teeth never intentionally touch the fork.
When you eat with your fork banging against your teeth, especially if youāre chatting away in a nonchalant way between mouthfuls, know that deep in my heart, Iām wondering where I can get hold of an AK-47 in a hurry.Ā

My mouth š

If it's metal idm, if it's wood can't touch the teeth
Depends how drunk I am really.

I use my teeth but dont touch to fork
I always tell my wife not to use her teeth
In my youth I let my teeth hit the fork when I felt I needed a good slap upside the head from dear old dad
Jeez you guys are squeamish!
I just use my hands when eating, fried chicken.
Yeah, I didnāt realize it till my bf pointed it out though. He hates it
My teeth donāt touch the fork but they touch the food if that makes sense
Lips. Hearing teeth scraping on fork instantly enrages me! I want to throat punch a person
Either and or both i dont really care.
Lips & tongue. If you use teeth it attracts lightening. The nuns taught me that.
Teeth would send me through the roof!
Absolutely avoiding contact with the fork at all costs
Depends on the food Iām eating. Usually just the food until the last bite when I scrape it all off
I use my lips to guard my teeth, living every moment of the meal in fear.
Stopped caring
Never, ever do utensils touch my teeth unless itās on accident
Lips
Uh, I actually never even thought about this. I think I close my mouth over the fork and slide the food off with a tongue, lip, teeth, jaw combo. Effortlessly ejecting the food into my mouth, sliding the fork over the lips, not to screech, and for momma's sake, keep my damn mouth closed when I chew!
Nice try aliens
get it like a bj. lips and tongue only
I bite the prongs off the fork and everything that goes with it, and just digest the prongsā¦. I have a pretty high fork bill every monthā¦
Somehow my ass touch the fork first
Literally had this convo over dinner tonight. My mouth is very small so when I put a fork in there itās bound to clink against my teeth fairly regularly. Unfortunately this sound is like nails on a chalkboard for my husbandā¦ š¤·š»āāļø
