Or is DP? (Should I LTB?)

[cornishmumtobe]

So currently sat with DP eating a slice of cheesecake.

As is perfectly normal, I am eating mine with a fork. There is no cream or icecream or sauce or anything. However, DP is eating his with a teaspoon

AIBU or is this LTB territory?!

I’m teaspoon cheesecake eater! I have a little mouth feels weird shovelling a dessert spoon filled with food into my mouth 😂

My DH on the other hand uses a dinner plate for a single slice of toast. And always eats curry with a dessert spoon.

i eat everything with teaspoons... i just dont like how big spoons feel.. forks are okay but id prefer a teaspoon... this is what i and clearly many others enjoy so yabu

my husband however eats pasta with a large spoon... now thats mental

@cornishmumtobe yes! He'll give me stuff on the kids' tiny plates and the crumbs go everywhere. Makes me so stabby

Your dh is right. You could learn from him, rather than leaving him.

I love all these weird utensil/cutlery/crockery habits!

It's reminded me I used to make one of those interval pots of ice cream at the theatre/panto last forever scraping away at it with the tiny wooden spoon

I ate a cheesecake tonight with a teaspoon. Better for round Gu pots. YABU.

On a similar thread, watching Eastenders from last night and Ian Beale is using his knife to pick bits of the yolk out of his egg and it doesn’t look like he’s broken the yolk properly let alone smashed it all up and swirled the yolk over the plate.

No wonder every woman has LTB 😨

No Kitty, he should break the yolk with his fork, squirt ketchup into it and dunk his toast into it. It's the law.

I used to eat victoria sponge cake with my hands like a sandwich when I wanted to pig out. The whole thing.

Cheesecake should be eaten with a fork because you can squidge and pick up the last of the crumbs rather than faffing about trying to chase them round the plate using a spoon.

Your DP is correct. I eat all deserts with a tea spoon.

Must be a male thing, my husband also uses a teaspoon to eat puddings/desserts

I vote the right way is a fork too.

Isn't it easier to eat cheesecake by falling face first on it..? And saves on washing up

I may have been on my diet too long

Why would anyone use a fork for any kind of dessert? Cake forks baffle me (but then using cutlery for cake is insane anyway imo, just pick the fucker up).

Anyway, small desserts need small spoons so it depends on the size of the cheesecake. If it’s massive he needs a big spoon, ordinary portion = teaspoon.

Ok I might have given this too much thought but here's my 2 cents....

Eating cheesecake with a fork is the right way. You put the fork through, lift it up and there is a lovely bite sized piece of cheesecake on the fork ready to eat.

But with a spoon you have to angle it right to cut through the base and then jiggle the cake on to the spoon (sometimes using a finger to get the cake on to the spoon). It's just harder work.

Or do I just not know how spoons work?!
