Sushi-knife and fork (lighthearted)

I know IABU but my colleague eats sushi with a kife and fork and it really annoys me.

I am not more annoyed because she ate a whole tube of pringles to herself and didn't share

Ha ha! A friend and I went to as really nice (expensive) sushi restaurant one evening. I had checked in advance she liked sushi and was happy with the restaurant choice - she said yes. Then, when our food arrived she wouldn't use chopsticks or knife/fork but ate it all with her fingers!! Was slightly surprised, but said nothing as it's up to her how she wants to eat it I guess.

I do that! Fingers I mean Blush

Chopsticks in a restaurant, yes. Fingers for supermarket sushi surely?

I can’t use chopsticks and fork doesn’t work it all falls apart

SgtFredColon · 14/05/2018 13:55

Google says fingers acceptable phew!

Either chopsticks or fingers are fine. Fork is very odd. Sushi should never be cut with a knife. That's just wrong.

AviatorShades · 14/05/2018 14:31

It's fingers not chopstix. Just sayin'.
and, ok,it's written chopsticks to be really correct.Grin

I read the finger thing just this morning. funny how things happen..

Eating sushi with fingers is the cultural norm...it's actually strange to eat sushi with chopsticks in some places

NatalieRushman · 14/05/2018 14:40

bluejava you're actually supposed to eat sushi with your fingers! I use chopsticks though. I'd be Angry at the pringle selfishness too op

You eat maki, California rolls etc with your fingers.

Traditionally nigiri are eaten with chopsticks but fingers are perfectly acceptable, especially for a Westerner.

That is how you are meant to eat sushi.

I laugh my head off at people trying to eat maki rolls with chopsticks.

Fingers are fine. Chopsticks for 'wet' sushi.
