A spoon is most useful. Filipinos use a spoon for just about everything. I do the same now. It's just efficient. I see something done in a more efficient manner, I adopt it. This is why I stuck with the 24 hour clock and use the metric system in carpentry, efficiency.
You know who's inefficient, cultures who stuck with chopsticks. Chopsticks suck. As soon as these people seen a spoon they should have been all over it. Chinese and Japanese also still use a completely different measuring system in carpentry. I didn't even realize until I had bought a square from a Japanese company. I bought one with imperial measurements and it also had shaku something or another on it and I kept reading off the wrong side of the square. That was it. I went metric.

The Brits are funny. When I worked for the FAA we had this company replacing some of the approach lighting. Myself and another usually went to lunch with the two people from the company. The one British dude said his family at one point had a castle or whatever TF they called it. Said it was a goat farm now. But the way this guy used to eat. It was some serious Downton Abbey stuff. It looked pretty and all, kind of humorous considering he didn't bother washing his beat to shit hands. But he kept picking up his knife and putting it back down all so he could switch the food on his fork from one hand to the other. Completely inefficient.

Anyone who would put rice on the backside of a fork has serious psychological issues. And he's wrong on the spaghetti thing too. He is correct in using just the fork, but one should start in the middle. This way all spaghetti twirled up gets dragged through the sauce. If you start on the edge, half the spaghetti on your fork could have no sauce on it at all! Then you choking on dry spaghetti, horking bits all over the table.

People are so different, even among single families. My parents and my sister insist on using a knife to cut a pancake. The fork goes through it like butter, minimum effort, but no! They must use the knife.

My brother and I are similar in that we will eat food cold, even out of the can, like regular losers. No problem. I've eaten hundreds of cans of chilli right out of the can. I actually prefer it that way to heating it. My parents and sister insist on making food so hot it's practically inedible, especially my father. He'll take a plate of cooked food, just served, and stick it the microwave. Then he'll gasp and pant as he eats the lava-temperature food, and if it cools too much while he's eating it, he'll pop it in the microwave again.

But it should be mentioned that I'm basically careless about food, and watching a show like Hell's Kitchen is about as interesting to me as watching paint dry.
