[Blindtlk] Question about eating in public

[Mark Tardif]

When I was a kid, it was a given that you ate pizza with your fingers.  I 
usually still do that but carefully lean over the plate or box to prevent my 
clothes from eating the pizza, LOL.  But there are situations in which I 
will eat pizza with a knife and fork.  Again, what's the setting?  And 
incidentally, if I'm a guest at someone's house and I see that they have put 
silverware next to my plate, unless they tell me differently, I'll eat with 
the utensils.  When in doubt, get the silver out.

I don't know about fries, but I have some friends who eat pizza with a knife 
and fork. I had never learned that, and I had never heard of people doing 
that until a few years ago.
