Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Hmm. This is over fink popcough the Eating Over the Sync Podcast.
Yet another riveting episode of the EatingOver the SINC Podcast. Good Day,
It's Mike Rafferty, but by twodear friends JP, the Brent Pursword.

(00:20):
Well what's up, Officer Andy Stults? Afternoon boys. You didn't let me
say the pride of Groveport Madison HighSchool. Get afternoon boys, Eat over
the Sinc on the gram and ifyou want to email us, it's Eating
over the Sink one at gmail dotcom. We've gotten a couple of bits
of feedback via email. We'll getto some of those. We'll do a

(00:41):
mailbag segment perhaps. Oh that's agood will we read email and address from
our fan. We have we havetens of fans. A hard hitting segment
today, gentlemen. This was suggestedby I do believe your son JP.
Yeah, Yeah, which is Ithink a very astute observation in life.
If you had to choose between onefork or a spoon, I have to

(01:10):
it's it really is. When whenI've got start staring at me like I'm
a crazy person, it's definitely definitelya fork. Oh so, before before
I jump into my opinion, onthis, I need to say a few
things. Water, taco, aluminium. I'm trying to think parallel process.
I just want to throw some Englishwords out there before you guys mock me

(01:33):
openly about them. Oh we stillwill, I know. I just want
to get him out the way first. You got to say the American way
though, Oh gosh, taco,taco, water process. Thank you.
See now now now it's not fairgame. Now I've put it out in
the universe one hundred percent. Spoonmuch more universal. I disagree. It's
a fork. You got to gofor the choice, just to be fair

(01:56):
though, Like, if I wasto think of my about my English heritage,
a fork would be the be theproper device to consume lunch and dinner
and breakfast depending on the type.So I'm going against my English heritage.
Well, you don't need a spooneat a pop tart, so well then
you need fingers, that's it.Yeah. Well but like so, but

(02:19):
if you talk about utility, likewhat's the most universal? You don't go
to Chipotle right and pick up afort because all the rice and stuff.
You use a spoon because you canget more on it. I ate what
I ate with the fork. Areyou serious? Yeah, yes, you're
probably one of those people that likepapers straws too, instead of drink out
of a straw. Oh that's right, only seven year old. So macaroni

(02:46):
and cheese, if you have thebiggest the spoon, the better. I
mean, that's a food that youwant to consume in high volume. In
one were having an eating context,what about peas? Well, you make
your peas and the mashed potatoes,eat it with a fork if there were
no mashed potatoes, And don't say, well, why would I eat peas

(03:07):
without mashed potatoes? Well, whywould I eat peas? Anyways? Oh
that's fair? Like what about greenbeans for you? Stab? No,
but like those little green beans?So what do you use a spoon for?
The only thing is spoon? Isthat necessary for? Is like soup?
And even then you can drink liquid. So you two are the people

(03:30):
that use a fork for desserts?On you like pie? Yes? Yes,
yes, my god, you caneat ice cream with a fork.
This is an impasse I cannot cross. How about a good friend I brought
this up as a trial woman ina separate session kind of at a friend's
house, and she said, whatabout ice cream? Cake? Fork.

(03:51):
What it's frozen. It's frozen,it's frozen. Okay, look, I
will concede the proper ettica for eatif you set a dinner plate right,
salad fork, main course fork,whatever that's called, right, And subsequently
there's knives on the other side.Right. So yeah, I'm maybe a

(04:14):
little weird with a spoon. Getit admitted. But when you get to
deserts, you don't see another fork. It's a spoon. Can you hear
it again? Another fork? Aspoon? I tell you, mad?
What did it front with you people? But I only eat with a spoon
and a restaurant if one's brought tome. Yes, I might eat with
a spoon, but if I'm athome, it's a fork, and it's

(04:39):
always going to be a four.I'd never reached for a spit unless I'm
eating cereal, but I can eatthat with a fork if I had to
drink the milk behind it. Yes, this, I feel like we need
a viewers vote on this one,like on the gram or on on email,
whatever one you want to do.I think we need to put a
pole out there for Yeah, it'sagain, proper etiquette is a fork,

(05:04):
which is like if you had asteak. You're not taking a steak,
No, you're not, So i'duse a fork of this question, you
only use one. So the correctchoice there's the fork is more universal if
you're trying to cut a chicken breastwith a spoon, and that's not gonna

(05:25):
work. But in that example,a fucking a spoon would be both useless.
How are you going to get throughthe chicken skin with a spoon?
You pill that one off, baby, he just crisped that up on the
side. So, and you guysin your silverware drawers, you have different
sizes of spoon. You've got thenormal spoon and you got the slightly bigger
spoon. We do, and Ihave no idea why it's stupid. Well,

(05:46):
we've got like, we've got teaspoons, tablespoons, serving spoons, dessert
spoons. Excuse me, we gotfour lots of dessert spin dessert spoons.
That's the one that's kind of rounder, and that's a soup sp it's specifically
for pie eating. But you wouldn'thave one label dessert pie eating. There's

(06:13):
a pie eating spoon. I hadno idea, pie, ice cream cake,
whatever. They don't have those andgrow fork actually we have two sizes
of forks, two sizes of spoons, and I have no idea why because
I go big fork, big spoonevery time. So I don't like the
big spoon. It's too big.It's it's uncomfortable when you there is by

(06:33):
the way, we have soup spoonsteaspoon for like what do you what would
you go teaspoon with everything? IfI have if I'm eating a bowl of
cereal, I will have I usethe use a little baby spoon. Absolutely.
What about like putting you put likesugar and tea and stuff like or
coffee? Do you put any sweetenerin? Like do you use a spoon

(06:57):
to measure it out? And no? You usport from the jar just the
whole thing. Yeah, yeah,So do you have real soup spoons because
there's soup spoons. We don't havesoupspoons because that's what you guys use a
spoon for. You should have adirect device. I don't know what a
supspoon looks like. A soup spoonis deeper, so you get more liquid
when you consume the soup versus adesert. Don't ever do that game versus

(07:25):
other spoons, you know which doesn'thave it. They're not as deep,
so you don't get as much volumein the look do you guys find yourself
with favorite utensils, like, oh, this is my favorite spatulor or this
is yes, isn't that weird thatyou have pick me, I've got a
great example. Yeah, so weall know, other than raff, we
like eggs, right, so justnew spash everyone. I'm not sure.

(07:48):
I'm not sure what's wrong with thisanimal, but he does look right anyway.
So when you're scrambling eggs in around frying pan, like we have
of two types of wooden spoons.We have like a square edge spatueresque type
wooden spoon. We have a roundwooden spoon. So pet peeve JP is
using a square spatulor to whip upsome scramb legs because you can't get into

(08:13):
the corners of the pan. Youhave to have a rounded wooden spoon.
And I've got this practicality that's I'vehad. I've got one that I've used
for twenty years. I feel like, go to wooden spoon. Yeah,
I've got stops Like, I don'teven know what you're talking. You've got
what about knives like I go towooden spoon. Yeah, do you not

(08:35):
have a favorite utensil. I don'thave a favorite utensil, but I do
have a favorite cup that I drinkout of. It's a little bit bigger,
a little bit holds a little bitmore types of liquid for all types
of liquids. So you put acocktail in and he put some orange steweylk
or whatever water. Going back tothe whole fork spoon conversation. When I
use a fork, we have twotypes of fork. So we have a

(08:58):
short fork, which is like asalad fork, and then a recorcized fork
that it's like for like regular foryour dinner, right dinner fork. So
when you eat dinner at the house, Yeah, and you set the table,
you're putting two forks on the town. Please please tell me you don't
put a couple of forks on thetable. Well, I'm trying to say.

(09:20):
It's like, I don't like thefeel of like a salad fork with
a sure thing the body of thefork. I don't like it feels wet
in my hand. So I havea specific fork, like the long d
You have a favorite fork, Yeah, I have a favorite for favorite state
from state, and I had achopping knife and a wooden spoon. Well,
you guys are eating with your forkor spoon? Do you eat with
the same hand that you are,Like, if you're right handed, do

(09:43):
you eat with your right hand?I eat left? I'm left handed.
I eat. I shovel the foodinto my face with my left hand.
Braf, what do you do?Yeah, I'm alrighty. My fork goes
on my left and I cut withmy right. So so I do fork
and right hand. But I'm lefthanded. You are both left handed.
I'm left handed. I go forkright hand, knife left hand. I

(10:03):
stab the kill with my left andI cut it with the right. That
sound, But what about when youwant to take a bite of something else?
You still hang on to the knife. I use the knife as the
backboard. Yeah, scoop, it'sthe backboard. That's why you don't need
a spoon. You can eat witha fork. You use the backboard of
the knife. Hey, side noteif you have a spoon, if you
have a spoon instead of a knifeat mile, see, I think I

(10:24):
switch hands though, I think Icut with my right I'm right handed,
okay, so I will stab thekill with the left hand, I'll cut
right, switch over, and thenif I want to eat by the salader
beans, I will then grab Iwill switch hands. So you cut and
eat with the same hand, notalways. Now he's flowing between the two

(10:46):
like I go back and forth.That's a very very conscientious like eating pan
me, I'm like left right cut, so but you would scoop soup with
your right hand curR right handed correctright? Yeah, yeah, yes,
getting that weird, like just thecomplexities of a simple task of eating.
Please don't make any comments to that, are you Are you fantastic? Yeah?

(11:11):
That's all folks. Can we saythe fork is the right answer?
Is the right answer?
