Cereal.

Cold leftovers straight from the fridge, propping the door open with one hip.

Individual grains of rice.

Rice pudding and macaroni and cheese, but I've eaten practically everything with my fingers at one point or another.

baked beans! No clue why but with barbecue, youre hands get dirty from the food and corn, etc..just dig into the beans with your hands.

Not a fan of cake with hands. Always feels lazy to me. If I'm eating cake I want to enjoy it so Ill savor the fork picking up the crumbs type thing.

For pasta, fettucine is awesomely fun with hands!

indian food! I know you're supposed to do that, but it still is fun.

Roasted asparagus spears. Have tried to use a fork, but can't.

This is the total opposite, but I love to eat popcorn with chopsticks. The same with Kraft Dinner. But not homemade mac n cheese.

sipping soup out of a cup kind of weirds me out. i would rather use a spoon.

I've always seen eating cake with a fork as to be something that is only for a special occasion or a really moist cake. At any other time it tends to come of as pretentious.

You covered my big ones--salad and roasted veggies and some pastas (especially cold noodles, like thai peanut noodles). I hate eating salad with a fork!

When I'm on my own I eat just about everything not liquid or in a lot of sauce with my fingers. Most commonly would be scrambled eggs, rice, and most veggies cooked or raw.

The fork only became a common utensil quite recently, for most of human history knives and spoons were sufficient.

When still dating, I told my wife she could eat soup with her thumb and forefinger!

I'm so happy sushi isn't on here! Seriously, put those poles down, and grab it. It falls apart cause you're doin it wrong!

Couscous when the pot has cooled and it comes off in chunks.

I also find forks to be a sub-par tool for salads!

Esp. when it's considered a no-no to cut your salad at the table. Well, then could there please be a memo to tear the salad greens up into smaller pieces to the prep chefs of the world (and my husband)! But not too small, because that just falls right through the fork before you can even get it to your mouth.

I had an epiphany at a Japanese restaurant years ago when I noticed how much easier and more dextrous chopsticks were for eating salads. So while, fingers are easier and forks are more "civilized," I gather chopsticks could be the best of both worlds.

Green beans. I almost never eat them with a fork. Same with asparagus.

I agree with the green beans and asparagus above! They always seem to awkward to spear with a fork.

I used to pull individual kernels off cooled leftover cobs of corn when I was a kid. I've now lost the patience for that!

Had to come back and add coleslaw after I caught myself eating it with my fingers this weekend and realized I always eat it one or two little pieces at a time, always with my fingers!

Green beans straight from the can.
