Fork and knife are pretty useful for breaking down big foods into smaller pieces, which means we can serve a whole chunk of whatever that would be inconvenient to eat with your hands with less preparation. Very utilitarian. Can be used for most everything, but removes a lot of 'bite-and-pull' foods from the menu, for better or worse.
Chopsticks are mechanically simpler, and once you get the hang of using them, work pretty well, too. You can't eat a steak with a chopstick, however, so there is more meal prep needed, and you end up with dishes that fit what the sticks are capable of. Input your own jokes about asian cultures being based on the peasantry being so helpless they cannot even cut their own food.
Spoons work much the same everywhere that eats anything wet. Probably the utensil that's the most alike wherever on the planet you find it.
We don't speak of the spork.
Then there's Africa, where they never got far enough to figure out what a utensil was.
It's not a good sign that I needed further info to be sure that wasn't a cow turd with added cornstarch... Although I guess he could have used his other hand if it was
The utensils of a culture also shapes the menu.

Dookie soup!
It's not even slop. It's lubricant so they can swallow their wad with as little time to taste it as possible.
That looks like shit
ikr? apparently they're called "africans" and there's like twelve different kinds
SPOOOOON!!!!!
That song is pretty good
Haters say Africa never invented nuthin but it's almost impressive how this looks more unappetizing on the way in than out
