I have a drawer filled with two sets of silverware: a heavy,solid walmart set,and a cheap,thin dollar store set. The dollar store set you look at them funny and they're bent. The walmart set,tho,I believe you could commit homicide with one and it would still be fine. Nice and heavy,good feel in the hands. The dollar store set feels like a child's play set. I despise them but my wife won't let me throw them out. If I have to use the flimsy ones I too will skip a meal,or wash one of the good utensils.

There are some identical forks that I will wash one to eat with if I have to.

At age 35 you should be considering throwing out (well, donating) the misc silverware for a matching set, I think. This was more of an issue in my 20s when my silverware was all mismatching.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

For some reason mismatched silverware always bothered me.

It is one of the first things I purchased when I moved out of my parents house, and I've had a complete set of matching silverware since.

...except for one spoon. I have one spoon my great grandmother gave me that I've held onto for over 40 years that doesn't match. That spoon is only used for eating ice cream.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Yeah, it's funny, I've replaced almost all of my silverware but I still have a couple of spoons that are from the set my parents had when I was growing up. It's an oddly nostalgic thing.

The tines are a changing

Every time man, why are the edges so sharp

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Apart from the pleasant one on the left, they're all the worst. The 4th from the right is almost good, but then you notice the creepy-as-fuck centre tine-gap length.

This man forks

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

My mom's house was like this. When we inherited my grandma's nicely molded and weighted set she just put them all in the drawer together with the cheap but decent set we already had. She then went and added a cheap amazon stamped sheet metal set, which was painted black so it didn't even match a little bit, on top of it all.

Drove me nuts until I could finally move out and buy a single cohesive set for my drawer.

I feel seen!

Chopsticks are superior anyways

[–] [email protected] -1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

For sushi and literally nothing else

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

For most Asian food, noodle dishes in particular.

It's much harder to cut a steak with chopsticks.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You cross the chopsticks like an X and use it like scissors.

But either way I wouldn't use just a fork, I'd use a knife too.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Well yeah, the fork is to hold down the steak while you cut it with the knife.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

You can hold down the steak with the chopsticks and use a knife as well is what I'm saying.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

With chopsticks you have less pressure area and thus less control.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

What? You can apply as much pressure and area as far as your chopsticks can spread. If anything, it's more control because you can hold them close together for smaller pieces or spread your chopsticks out wider than 2-3 forks.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You can apply as much pressure and area as far as your chopsticks can spread.

With chopsticks you have just two points of pressure.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Doesn't matter, u can cover a wider range of surface area. If u spread out the chopsticks about once inch apart, they cover the same distance as forks. Just apply as much pressure as needed

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

I hate all forks big enough not to pass for a salad fork
