Sounds like something they would try to push in the UK since there are so many knifings.

Ban ANYTHING that can be used as a weapon and the government can control everyone easier.

Takes forever to eat a bowl of soup with yer fingers!

One must drink the soup.

A few years back several of us were at the Tulsa show and went out to eat at the Rib Crib. One of the guys that went out to dinner with us that night was a medical doctor, and wanted to know what to order. We all recommended their ribs, and while we were gnawing away on the ribs he carefully ate his with a knife and fork. That is truly a time to leave the knife and fork on the table.

When I was a kid we ate at the neighbors house once in a while. She was Australian and very British. I picked up my bacon with my fingers and was corrected. Please use the knife and fork.

Doesn't sound like an easy task.

While I don't hesitate to eat using my fingers on such items as fries, brownies, fruit and normal usage when eating at restaurants I do use a fork and knife to eat fried chicken to keep the greasy mess off my fingers. My wife looks the other way and thinks I'm weird.

Louis XIV ate with his fingers, and ate mostly in public.
Captain Nemo (James Mason): "There's a fork on your left, Mr. Land. Or aren't you accustomed to utensils ?"
Ned Land (Kirk Douglas) : "Oh I'm indifferent to them."
I carry a set of camp eating utensils form my Boy Scout days in my side bag, prefer them to plastic ones. And they work better.

I keep a Stainless Steel Spork in my Computer bag (it travels where I go) incase I need one

[Allen]

I go nowhere. All meals are at home these days. I can chose the foods I eat to the utensils I choose to eat with, mostly sandwiches, so.....
