As a kid we always ate our chops w/ our fingers. Now, my wife gives me the evil eye if she even thinks I'm about to pick up my chops. I would never order pork chops out, because I can get them at home any time I want.

Now you now why...

I didn't realize pork chops came on a bone.

...they're so crunchy.

...they're so crunchy.

Funny, my mom heard about trichinosis from her mom and used to cook pork chops until they were "pork chips". I was well into my 20's before I knew they were not supposed to be crunchy

"Grandma, is this roast beef or new insoles?"

Their generation was used to people dying, regularly, due to bad food and all sorts of things we take for granted now.

It's perfectly acceptable to eat a pork chop with your fingers whenever/where ever they're served ... who the hell makes pork chops for a "formal" occasion? :shrug:

There are things you eat with your hands, things that need the help of utensils, and things that you should always use them for! Pork chops being on of them!

It has a handle ( bone ), just like chicken and ribs.
