現如今，隨著越來越多的人愿意單手進餐，餐桌上原本形影不離的刀和叉變得勞燕分飛。即便沒有餐叉，人們也同樣能方便地享用那種單手拿著就能吃的食物，它們就是one-handed food。

One-handed food is food that is small enough to hold in one hand and is not messy to eat so that it can be consumed while driving or working.

單手食物是那種小塊的可以單手拿住的食物，吃起來也不會弄得手黏糊糊的，在開車或工作時可以單手方便享用的食物。

Fast-food restaurants have succeeded best with 'one-handed food,' because the majority of fast-food patrons eat in the car.

快餐店做“單手食物”做得最成功，因為大多數快餐店的顧客都在車里用餐。

More Americans than ever are trying to eat and walk, run, read, work or watch television, or even drive a car. They need 'one-handed food,' which can also be called as 'commuter food,' 'finger food' or 'no-think food.'

越來越多的美國人試圖一邊吃一邊走，或者一邊吃一邊跑，一邊閱讀，一邊工作或看電視，甚至一邊吃一邊開車。他們需要“單手食物”，也可以用commuter food（通勤食物）、finger food（手指食物）或no-think food（不傷腦筋的食物）來表達。
