I prefer chopsticks with asian meals, but serve the same meal on a plate, I prefer fork and spoon.

Well, chopsticks are the norm for noodle soups no matter where I've been, but Indonesia and the Philippines are definitely fork and spoon-friendly.

But put the same meal on a plate.. I prefer to use fork and spoon. That's because when I lift a large plate to my mouth, it won't be stable, so generally I don't lift large plates.. thus, I can't lift the plate and shovel eat with chopsticks.. As a result, I prefer the same asian meal on plates using fork and spoon, because I can't conventionally lift a plate and shovel eat with chopsticks very conveniently.
I find it funny watching people trying to eat rice or noodles off plates with chopsticks. It can be an effective diet method, if you're trying to lose weight eating a few pieces of rice or a few noodles at a time using chopsticks.

Yup, with the pork, the danger used to be Trichinosis, but with modern food production it really isn't a risk - I can't recall the last time I heard about it in farmed pork.

I especially like Bullseye, but certainly enjoy with HP. At a fine dining restaurant, nothing like Chimichuri.^

As with so many foods, textural contrast is the key
When struck by the urge for a box of grocery store cake donuts
the box should be opened for several hours and the donuts turned in the box periodically to get a nice starting-to-get-every-so-slighty stale all-over crust on them

Tomatoes must be either raw (in which case they'd better be tasty) or cooked down into a sauce. Cooked tomatoes that retain tomato shape are to be avoided.
Austrian food is underappreciated and should be more widely available
No organ meats. Except possibly haggis
Decaffeniated coffee is like sex with a condom. Ok that is actually my brother's former colleague's rule.
