I'm funny - I like wedges of lime - in bottles of Cerveza, on plates, all sorts. The smell of the skin, the feel of the squish, the slightly sweet and sour taste. I think food should use all the senses
Yep. All of those. Plus squeezed into a Coke, sweet tea (or in my case, artificially sweetened) With a shot of tequila. Perhaps best of all, in a Key Lime Pie.
Finger food doesn't need to be sticky, thankfully
It's why Indians use balls of rice, naan, etc., Asians use chopsticks, Mexicans use tortillas, nachos, and so on.
Especially when sharing food from communal pots.

In all of these case there is definitely oozing - with occasional splurting leading to slurpification and definitely finger lickage. Its all great. Mind you if you want unstickification, all power to you - but oi loikes it
Not if one is careful...... says she who's eating a sliced peach, oatcakes with a little oak smoked very mature cheddar and blackcurrant jelly, and a small portion of mushy peas, and using a desert fork to pick up most of it. (rather late tea, can't be bothered with dinner tonight)
No; sticky hands y'can keep, but each to their own.
cheers,

Yes. But what about smoked ribs? Fried chicken? Or BBQ chicken? Watermelon? Pulled pork sandwiches? Sloppy Joes? Buttered corn on the cob? Lobster? Boiled shrimp? Crawfish? Crab?
Rice balls, tortillas, and chopsticks are more or less useless on them.
Even with tortillas, if they don't ooze, there's not enough filling in your fajitas or tacos.

Nope, don't eat any of that but for the corn on the cob....and I have these neat wee fork things that stick in each end
Watermelon is a devastating disappointment. Looks like it ought to be glorious and it's just 'nothing'
melon is eaten with a fruit knife and desert fork.
Told you; I hate sticky hands

LOL. I have those corn holders as well. Now always with me when at somebody else's house or a restaurant though. As for watermelon: Well there's two things wrong with that.
Firstly, you're no t getting good ones (it's getting to be a problem here as well as they breed bigger, more tasteless ones for the market)
Secondly, there's only one real way to eat watermelon. And it should nearly always devolve into a food fight!
Or better still, a yellow meated watermelon
People are still the same. They'll do anything to get what they need. And they need SOYLENT GREEN.

By heavens, but y'd need to be hungry ......
I fed most of one to the compost heap last week, and even the worms aren't looking interested in it.
That's worth noting....I have brandling worms that drop off the inside of the lid in football sized knots of writhingness, and I use them to break down virtually anything organic that I can get into the compost bins.
They make a cracking job of stripping bones
and they give me brilliant worm worked soil too.cheers,

To get rid of the raw ones just feed them to the horses. But pickled ones are actually a commercially profitable item
That's a statement that could get you lynched in these parts!!! Sacrilege, Sir!!!
LOL. I've had it. The truth is while I like marmalade also, I'm not overly enamored with it. Now fig preserves! That's the food of the gods!
