Do you use your knife when you eat?

"Nearly three-quarters of adults today think nothing of shovelling food into their mouths with a fork held in their right hand, not bothering with a knife at all.

More than half admit to eating chicken drumsticks with their hands, while a third scoop up the last bits of food on their plates with their fingers. The same number speak with their mouths full.
Most of us are now happy to sit with our elbows on the table and a quarter confess to belching freely during a meal. One in five of the population also regularly use their napkin to blow their nose."


The 15 most common bad table manners are: 73% Holding fork in right hand/no knife
67% Elbows on table
67% Failing to remain at table while everyone is still eating
64% Eating straight out of packaging
47% Leaving table while others eating
36% Talking with mouth full
34% Using fingers to scoop up last bits of food
27% Pointing at someone with knife/fork
25% Burping at table
24% Licking plate clean
20% Blowing nose on napkin
20% Putting too much food in mouth
19% Forgetting to thank host for meal
19% Not knowing which cutlery to use in restaurant
8% Throwing food at someone across table

I put my elbows on the table :o
But now I wish I threw food at someone across table! I have to try it one day...

Great way to get sent home early from summer camp. Just make sure you don't throw the cutlery!!!

your not one of those that uses the fork to lift the food from the plate to your hole?

[sonof77]

Yes I use a knife and fork to eat my Mars bar.

[Oh my god, it's Robby!]

i think the more you use a knife
the more you are likely to eat meat
and really most non-flesh foods do not require a knife to cut

[hatfull]

It depends what it is really, I tend to eat a lot of rice and stuff which I eat with a spoon (I am like a child. I like to eat out of a big bowl and a spoon), but I eat fajitas and stuff a lot too which in my book is finger food.

[girlunafraid]

you know why I ***bumped*** this thread?

No neither do I.

on the top of the 'off-top' folder it says (well on mine anyhoo)
pages 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 11. 51. > last

so me being bored or daring (you decide) chose pg 51. then scrolled down the list & saw this thread.

So I replied to it, otherwise it would have been left to fester.

Do you do daft things when you are bored or dared?

love

Grim
p.s. now that's how to off-top' a thread

H whilst that was a good answer it is far to open, suggest an example is needed at this juncture?

[!Viva Hate!]

But what if you use your left hand to hold the fork? Then what...huh? Does that mean I don't have to use a knife then because I'm holding the fork in the "wrong hand" in the first place?

But eh? I could make it on to your list? Is there any order to your list suchas the most hated at the top & then lesserning (what?) degrees of hate?

Grim

[!Viva Hate!]

Nope...alphabetical order. I hate them all in their own special way.
