Shift everything down a row, bread is the best cutlery
Smh, this must be what his dispute with Kropotkin was about :marx-joker:
(Ironically, if I remember correctly there are actually pretty extensive passages on bread and working class nutrition in vol.1, due to the tendency for bakers to cut the flour with ash and all sorts of crap to save money)
You’re no longer living at home, you can eat how you damn well please.
:jesse-wtf:
if not at home, where are you living?
I think that’s what they are getting at.
Missed opportunity to dunk on bougie pescatarians by including all the fancy fish & seafood cutlery like lobster tongs and fish knifes
each one is simply a tool for the food its meant to be used for, or foods are served around the utensils. places where chopsticks are prevalent meats and veggies are cut up into pieces that can be easily picked up by chopsticks. in usa you get a plate sized piece of meat and a fork and knife.
everywhere I know they eat soup with a spoon but they have all different types
im lactose intolerant so I eat cereal with a fork
Ancient Chinese people cooked on woks because it was more fuel efficient–this meant everything cut into small pieces to cook fast (also, Old Worlders didn’t have access to huge hunks of meat)–because everything was small pieces, they could be eaten most easily with chopsticks, chopsticks are also way more efficient to produce
also, fork is easily the most pointless cutlery, especially if you’re vegan. The only thing I can remember ever needing a fork for was to hold down slabs of meat while cutting them. Everything else can be done more easily with chopsticks
This fails to consider the humble grapefruit spoon. Useful for many tasks, like uhhh eating other types of citrus with a sharp spoon.
