When did people start eating chicken wings with a fork and knife?? (lemmy.world)

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.

See? That's the beauty of diversity! I like my bacon crispy (breaks at a touch), but not black, even in places. So while I can scoop it up with a fork to place on a sandwich, if it's on a plate with eggs, it becomes finger food. Which is weird, on my part, because I used to prefer it softer and chewy. My tastes continue to evolve, apparently, and that's fine. I try not to eat too much of it anyway because 1. pork is not the healthiest choice (and not a white meat, despite the lying marketing ads), 2. American standards are very low/cafos are garbage, 3. Nitrates/BHA etc
