Eat with your hands or a spoon?

Whenever I'm out for camping I find it more satisfying when eating my food with hand. Of course I clean my hands very well before. I tried eating with a spoon or a fork but without a chair and a table to sit comfortably, it is not easy for me.

Would you eat using hand or still prefer to eat using a spoon at your camping site?

 

It really depends on the food.

We do tend to lean toward foods that we can prepare and eat with our hands instead of requiring utensils. I don't have any issues with standing with a plate and utensils or even sitting on the ground to eat instead, though, so it doesn't bother me if we have foods that need forks or spoons.

 

It would depend on the food. If it was potato salad or something like that, I would need to use a fork. If it's a hamburger or a hot dog, then I'd use my hands. Chips.....same thing. So it really just depends on the food being eaten, but if I can use a fork for the type of food that normally uses silverware, then yes I would use it.

 

I always avoid soup when going for camping I just dislike having too much work when it comes to eating sometimes. I've never really been picky when it comes to food, I just take anything I can but a roasted beef is a must though. I will roast them first at home then throw it into the fire at the camping site as a way to cook it (of course I do it carefully and avoid it from getting burnt). Have you done something like this?

 

I care a fork, knife, and spoon in my kit. That doesn't necessarily mean I'll use them, but I rather have them then not. I don't see the point in eating with my hands if I don't got to - also mild to moderate germaphobe so yeah... Eating with my hands isn't strictly something I'm comfortable with as a rule.

 

When camping, we usually have chicken, hotdogs and hamburgers over the grill along with some salads and chips. We do bring the extra luggage such as utensils, water and soap.

I can stand and/or sit on the ground to eat so having the extra things don't bother me.
