As the title suggests, when did this happen? How?
In my humble opinion, chicken wings should be eaten with your hands. Almost, as savagely, as ribs. But when the hell did people start eating them with utensils? It just, seems wrong on so many levels.
I do this. I’m British and my American acquaintances laugh at me for doing so, but why does the hand you hold the fork in make any difference? It’s not like there are left-handed and right-handed chips.
No, but chips are narrow and require some dexterity.
Those right-handed people who grow up habitually switching their fork to their right hand never develop decent left-hand fork-handling skills.
Why do you do it, out of interest? Do you just not like the feeling of chips in your hand, or is it a hygeine thing?
I was taught that it’s rude to touch food with your hands. Most dishes that come with chips need the use of a knife and fork for the other items anyway, why put them down and grab one part of the food? Also, chips are supposed to be really hot.

But if a culture always eats with the fork in the left hand, then they do not switch the fork to the right hand, because using the fork with the right hand is the opposite of using the fork with the left hand.
