[Blindtlk] peas

[Jim Portillo]

Wow.  Very interesting, Bob.

I can't ever say I've had peas with honey, but recently, I did hear a
sighted friend of mine talk about using a knife to help eat peas.  I'd never
heard nor done that before.  I can't say I always was a fan of peas, but I
ate them.
I guess I always took the simple way out and just used a spoon because I
found it easier and less of a challenge to deal with them.

I've been learning a lot from this discussion.  And, wow...Some of these
things I never thought of doing and maybe should have.
Jim

Hi all,
This talk of using a piece of bread or a knife as a pusher brought back a
very old memory from Perkins.
While helping us with table manners one of our house mothers would recite
the following poem:
I eat my peas with honey,
I've done it all my life;
It makes my peas taste funny,
But keeps them on the knife.
