[BlindTlk] tips for eating pasta

[Sherry Gomes]

I know several polite sighted people who've used the bread pusher idea. They're going to eat the bread anyway. They are not no-manners types either. It's just a technique that works for them. I don't do the bread thing, but I don't see a problem with anyone using it. I tend to avoid long noodles that most people twirl because of my arthritis.

A knife used as such would seem more polished etiquette-wise.
