Eating fried chicken at work (1 Viewer)

[gianmarco]

Assume you work in a professional environment. Lunch being served for the day is fried chicken with mashed potatoes. These are large pieces of chicken (chicken quarters) with a very crispy outside.

How do you eat this? For clarity, the chicken is very hard on the outside and not very easy to cut into. If you're eating it with a fork and knife, are you turned off by others using their hands? If you're using your hands, would you care if most are using silverware? If they're staring at you?

Its fried chicken. Doesn anyone expect you to eat it with a fork and knife

 

[EYLive]

I'd take it back to my desk if I could, and use my hands.

 

[McGarnicle]

Shove it in your face with both hands, gnaw violently while saying "MMMMMMM, OH YEAH THAT'S SOME QUALITY CHICKEN" as loud as you can.

Pretty much

 

[Nugget]

I already have the job, correct?

I do much worse things than this on a daily basis.

I voted hands.

 

[Koya]

Is this a racist lunch?

 

[sbonomo]

I eat it with a knife and fork anyway so no sense changing it at work. Now, if it was chicken wings, those are definately with the hands.

 

[Apple Jack]

No watermelon?

Where's the 'who cares' option?

Right here

I'm also sucking on the bones and my fingers as loudly as possible.

Give a lot of good ol' pats on the back after. Great way to degrease.

Whatever admin person orders fried chicken for a meeting should be fired. I don't want to watch a dozen or more people shove greasy chicken in their mouths with their hands. Also, if there are introductions, hand-shaking, or passing around of handouts, it's just going to be even more gross and awkward.

I don't think I have ever used a fork and a knife on fried chicken. I would probably be far messier with a fork a knife than shoveling it down my throat with my bare hands.

I agree. Whenever someone is likely to do this, I order pheasant under glass from the local French restaurant, and eat in my office.

Hands. also, would probably fire anyone using a knife and fork.

 

[E-Z Glider]

People still eat fried chicken?

 

[doowain]

Where is the spork option?

 

[Jayrok]

I rarely eat fried chicken, but when I do I prefer to use my hands. But I do keep a knife and fork handy in case I have a candy bar for dessert.

 

[B-Deep]

i wish we had fried chicken at work

 

[RBM]

WTF

Awkward? Fried chicken has been breaking down barriers and greasing the wheels of this economy for decades. If fried chicken somehow creates an awkward work environment, then it's time to clean house and start over.

The guy coming in to present his new line of hand soaps and paper towels order it.

 

[dickey moe]

Damn i love fried chicken.

this thread should be merged with the fake hand washing thread.

 

[Doug B]

Fried chicken is popular down here. If it's ever offered in the workplace, everyone eats it with their hands and washes up afterwards.

Anyone using a knife & fork, or anyone having issues with fried-chicken-in-hand, would be seen as extremely weird and uptight.

 

[Nathan R. Jessep]

There are certain foods that must only be eaten with your hands. Fried chicken is one of those foods. Act accordingly.

hey now!

i would never complain about free fried chicken

 

[fantasycurse42]

Hands, but I eat my snickers bar with a knife and fork.

Almost as bad as eating a slice of pizza with a knife and fork.

That's what the biscuit is for.

Make sure not to wash your hands before grabbing a piece of chicken.

 

[Koya]

Make sure not to wash your hands before grabbing a touching each and every piece of chicken.

 

[Bigboy10182000]

I want crab legs and fried chicken now.

 

[gianmarco]

Damn i love fried chicken.

 

[SacramentoBob]

People who eat fried chicken with utensils are ####### weird.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Who serves fried chicken at a work function?

You guys all farm-hands or grease-monkeys?

I answered hands, but after thinking it through a bit more, in this instance I would try and mangle it with silverware. I would also monitor what the boss is doing first - and/or who ever else you don't want to gather the wrong impression. Unless you are eating in New Orleans at Dooky Chase's with the CEO, nobody should really even think about using a knife and fork.

Kind of seems like a dirty trick - what secretary (yeah ...I said it. #### that assistant ####) ordered the food?

I applaud the idea. It forces all them all to actually wash their hands instead of the fake wash they usually do after they take a crap.

Cooking chicken is not hard. I'd interrogate the chef and find out why they are overcooking the chicken.

Sorry, it was a smart ### remark. I don't know WTF he was going with that. It was either brilliantly obtuse or a Dave Kingman sized whiff.

That makes much more sense. Now I'm actually pondering how much I really liked the chicken.

I was trying to be somewhat funny, guess I didn't pull it off. Oh well.
