withadancenumber you have gone to far. Your taking sophistication of knife and fork and taking practicality of hands and creating a stupid looking abombination
The real question for Ryab though is "What if a self-driving car turned around a corner and was confronted with two mean: one jaywalking, and one standing on the sidewalk legally but holding a large greasy battered fish, and it has to choose which one to hit?"
So during Mondays stream, TB came into chat and they asked if he preferred eating fried fish with his hands or silverware. He said he would eat it with a fork and knife but he further complicated the response by explaining that he always ate it with sauce anyways.
It is physically impossible to wipe whilst sitting down on the toilet. If you're gonna squat like a fucking mong anyway you might as well just stand up.
It depends on the type of fish and chips. If you're eating at a restaurant, use the knife and fork they give you. If you're eating at a fast food place, you use what they give you (hands or maybe a tiny fork). Done.
As a Brit, who has had many many fish and chip meals, have never seen someone eat a big bit of battered cod with their hands, itd just fall apart. but fried battered fish American style has nug-like consistancy could be eaten with fingers like nugs.
Smeghead is 100% correct bruv it'd just fall apart, burn your fingers and grease them all up. Never seen anyone eat a 20cm cod fillet with their hands here in Devon.
absolutely, a piece of cod with chips is giant, if you tried to pick it up itd just fall into pieces. not to mention the vinegar that you absolutely should have put onto it will get on ur fingers.
the biggest differences in the argument here is that they have two differing ideas of what "fish and chips" are. the nl and malf definition is a large, whole fillet fried in a greasy, heavily oiled batter. the rob and malf version is also typically a batter but it isnt a light batter, its not nearly as greasy or oily, and the fish peices themselves are significantly smaller. they're more like fish strips than fish fillets. they are big but they arent wide, just long, and they hold together much better. picking it up by the middle with just two or three fingers is perfectly possible with the american style fish and chips. with no more mess than picking up the "chips" with the same hand would give you.
No matter how often I come back to this argument, it never fails to crack me up XD And the Sonic bad rank music is just a cherry on top, I completely forgot about that XDDDD
Brit here (i.e., man from fish and chip land). If you eat fish and chips with your hands you're a monster. That's why they provide those tiny little wooden fork things.
Just to add a perspective from the Southern United States, there was a town near where I grew up in in Georgia and they had a law on the books that made it technically illegal to eat fried chicken with a fork It's one of those things that's never enforced but I guess it's frowned upon technically by law
Gainesville GA, Poultry Capitol of the world www.gainesvilletimes.com/m/archives/21373/ Most recently a visitor to Gainesville was "arrested" for breaking this law in 2009 It's mostly a PR thing for the poultry industry
Fries with fingers, fish with forks. This is the craziest highlight yet. Fish sticks are not being discussed, neither are chicken fingers... bunch of maniacs.
Here's the way I see it: if it's a kind of fried food or fast food where eating it with a fork and knife would cause more problems to finishing the meal, it may be easier/preferable to use your hands. However, if it's greasy enough to fall apart in your hands if picked up or just doesn't have very good internal structural integrity, it's preferable to use a fork and knife. Now, I can see someone picking up and eating fried fish with their hands if it's done right, I just don't personally do it because it's not bite-sized enough for me to justify doing that. The same would go for very large chicken fingers (but not necessarily all chicken fingers).
Depends on the size of the fish. If it's a small chicken tender-sized fillet, then hands are the way to go. If it's a bigger slab of fish then you gotta use a fork.
I'm half and half on this, fish and chips you would eat with a knife and fork (the fish at least) but a chicken drumstick anyone who eats them with a knife and fork is out of their fucking mind (looking at you NL).
Propastypete you have to understand out egg lives inner city and litterally has enough money and patience to fork out 2 thousand dollars for one meal at a gordan ramsay restaraunt
I use a fork, in general any food that doesn't have a bone or similar thing to grab(Pizza crust for example), or isn't edible in a couple bites seems like a fork food.
A British fish and chip takeaway, a place we call a Chippy, ALWAYS has little wooden forks that you can cut and eat everything with on the go or at the beach. But if you're going home with it it just makes sense to eat it all with knife and fork like civilised people.
Oh also i just reckognised the problem. This rich egg lives in the city where the only place you get fish and chips is like a full blown gordan ramsay restaurant. Meanwhile im hangin out in beutiful south coast mornington peninsula of australia where you take fish and chips to the beach every second day of summer
Woah woah, picking up the bowl and drinking the soup is easily the most satisfying way to enjoy it. None of this spoon shit, even if it's hot you can just slurp it on the bowl edge and the air cools it as you slurp.

I hope im not the only one on baers side. The whole point of take away is no waahig up you cant get a knife and fork to eat the fish. You just eat it all off the wrappig
I sympathized with NL during the fish and chips debate. As a hands eater myself I can see the arguments for at least a fork, but when he got to the ribs and pizza I just wanted to put a stamp on his beautiful shiny noggin with the word SNOB.
everyone single one of them is outta there damn minds, the only obvious answer is to do either one when it's appropriate. 4kg fully breaded fillet? knife and fork that shit, under 2kg hands are just fine.
The main thing about this is that American people probably think that the fish from finsh n chips are like the size of chicken fingers or something along those lines. I refuse to believe my country is this uncivilized with their eating habits.
Whilst as a Brit I'd literally never heard of eating fish and chips with your hands, Rob and Austin made solid arguments while Ryan and MALF ate shit, I'm a hand-eater convert now
I mean i use my hands whenever i can but the vast majority of the time, the fish is too greasy and just falls apart when i pick it up, so im forced to resort to use a knife and fork and im completely fine with both ways.
