Spoon or knife?

[leeds2glasgow]

Please settle a debate? Do you have a spoon or a knife to go with your spaghetti/tagliatelle? I was only allowed a spoon as I child and then used a knife but friends think I'm weird?

I just use a fork, what do you use the knife for?

To sort of roll out up? Like you do even your a kid with the spoon?

A spoon and fork is what I use. I swirl the pasta onto my fork using the bowl of the spoon.

I just use a fork. We used to stay in Italy a lot when i was little (the 70's) with a family there and they didn't use knives or spoons .

starting to think my parents are a bit mad

Fork only here.

Fork only but have seen spaghetti twirled with a fork on a spoon. Why would you need a knife?

There's a reason why but can't remember. I'll text my mum 😂

If I'm at home so don't bother about getting messy then I only use a fork. If I'm in a restaurant then I use a fork and spoon.

Just a fork.

Apparently using a spoon is how Italians spot foreigners as it’s an odd thing to do.

I use a knife and fork, and chop up the pasta. Does that make me terribly uncivilised?

Apparently so!! Just googled it!!

Although when Dd was little I'd cut up long pasta with scissors and give her a spoon.

I've googled it. It's neither!! Some people think it's posher to use a knife rather than the spoon, but both are frowned upon 🤷‍♀️

I wouldn't eat spaghetti in public, no-one needs to see that.

Knife for DH because the heathen chops it up, DD uses a spoon because she can’t quite twirl yet but just a fork for me.
