Yes, and when carving a turkey or chicken I ask 'Are you a breast or a leg man?' and give my best Sid James laugh. Welcome to Carry-on-British-Expats!

Re: Using both a knife & fork when eating
 

I eat almost all solid food with both a knife and a fork.

Hamburgers that are unable to fit in my mouth due to the size of the patty and sheer quantity of food inside the two buns are eaten with a knife and fork.
Chicken wings are eaten with a knife & fork as I find it easier to peel every last scrap of meat off the wing with a knife.
If the pizza was boiling hot and I was hungry, I'd use a knife and not risk burning the roof of my mouth.

I don't know what eggs over light are but I probably would eat a hot dog with just my hands.

^^^What he said except for the chicken wings, if I were to eat them they would be finger food.

Eggs over easy I don't care for but I would dip my toast in the yolk and eat the remaining white with a knife and fork. :)

Re: Using both a knife & fork when eating
 

How does using a knife on hot pizza make it cold enough to eat without burning the roof of our mouth :confused: I have had several friends who eat pizza with a knife and fork but never for that reason. I use the K&F if the pizza is "loaded".

As for the eggs over light, I'm with you and for peas I use the fork in my right hand to scoop them up.

Re: Using both a knife & fork when eating
 

I think you tend to cut the pizza into a smaller piece which may cool a little on it's way to the mouth. I don't know it just seems to work better for me, once the pizza has cooled a little then it's deffo finger (hand) food.:thumbsup:

I keep the fork in my left hand to scoop the peas but then I am left handed so maybe that's why.

Riveting thread this isn't it?

I thought rivets were for airplanes or should I say aeroplanes.:p:rofl:

Re: Using both a knife & fork when eating
 

I think it's a fear thing. I know that on more that one occasion, upon biting into a hot pizza all the cheese has detached and slapped against my chin leaving an embarassing red mark. Like napalm but not.

Re: Using both a knife & fork when eating
 

What I never figured out was why all the Brits I was exposed to at school (everyone but me basically) held their forks upside down? Surely it's significantly easier to use your fork as a scoop then trying to keep food on a convex surface, not to mention how on earth do you eat off it without stabbing your tongue?

After several years of people very rudely trying to convince me to turn my fork around I just stopped eating lunch altogether. That'll teach 'em ;)

Re: Using both a knife & fork when eating
 

I've always held my fork in my right hand - not sure why, just feels "right" (no pun intended), despite the fact I'm right handed..... So I'm looking forward to no longer being a weirdo :D

Re: Using both a knife & fork when eating
 

My OH has the same problem....he is a bloody weirdo:rofl:

Re: Using both a knife & fork when eating
 

You'll be the weirdo when you get to Canada and we'll both be right :thumbsup:

Re: Using both a knife & fork when eating
 

hmmmmm ya think?? mind you when we go on holiday and i see people in restaurants trying to cut steak with the blunt edge of a fork, i know theres definitely weird'er out there...karma sent for being a weirdo;)

Re: Using both a knife & fork when eating
 

Now that is weird - I find it hard to cut a steak with a steak knife (with my left hand ;) ).... Maybe I'd do better with the fork in my right hand? :p
