    Hard disagree. You can shovel most salads with a fork so unless you’ve got the plate up to your face and you’re sliding the salad in like you would do with a bowl of rice then it’s fork all day

      You shouldn’t be shoveling a salad unless it’s potato or macaroni salad. Maybe your thinking of coleslaw? Leafy green salads are nearly impossible to shovel with a fork unless you mince the ingredients into unrecognizably tiny bits, aka a slaw. With very little practice, eating with chopsticks isn’t much different than eating with your fingers. In fact, there’s a few things I can do with chopsticks that I could never easily do with my fingers or a fork.
