[Blindtlk] Question about eating in public

[Mark Tardif]

No, but I'll tell you, in some restaurants up here, you can actually get 
fries with gravy on them.  Or, even better, cheese fries with gravy.  I 
rarely do that, but if I do, of course I will always eat them with a fork. 
Yes, fries with gravy.  I wonder what our bad cholesterol level is compared 
to the rest of the country, probably quite high.

What is interesting, in Idaho, all the fastfood places and restaurants have
fry sauce, a mix of ketchup and mayo.  I hear it is an Idaho-Utah thing.
Anyone else get fry sauce?

People do eat fries with catchup with their fingers, but I don't. Not being
able to see, I like my figers able to remain somewhat useful instead of
laden with sauce.

I usually just make room on my plate for a small empty space where I can
poor a moderate amount.  There's almost always room.
Then I usually dip.  I'm not inclined to slather anything with ketchup on
top, but if I did do that I'd use a fork.

I have a feeling this is going to be a very dumb question, but I want to ask
anyway.

I enjoy eating out in public with friends or people.

One of my favorite things, like any young person my age, is burgers and
fries.

I'd like to know what you guys do as blind folks with the following
situation.

Most people enjoy some sort of dipping sauce for their fries, such as
ketchup.

Some fast food places have those little dipping cups, and if I have someone
get me one or two, no problem.



But, what about those places that don't.  You either have the
plate that has
the burgers and fries on it, or you sometimes have those
cardboard boat
looking things heaping full of fries and no cup or dipping
container.

I figure that on a plate situation, there could be a little room
to put a
bit for dipping, but not always.  What is good or proper or
visually
appealing to do with such things as those little boat looking
things or when
a plate is full of food or fries and there's no designated room?

I have ended up just eating them plain, but why do that?

What can I do to still enjoy what I like?

And, is it OK to eat the fries with fingers if they have ketchup
on them?



Again, embarrassing questions I wouldn't normally ask a sighted
person.



Tom
