Only reason I'm asking is because my 5yr old has adopted this habit and I'm trying to explain to her the benefits of using both a knife and fork.

We were invited to dinner a few months ago and were handed a plate of spaghetti Bolognese with only a fork?? My Wife and I looked at each other and were both too embarrassed to ask for a knife as no one else was using one.

I struggle without a knife..
My boy friend (a typical Pom) uses fork And Spoon when he eats Spaghetti Bolognese. (when I made Spaghetti for the first time for him) I got the giggles when he asked me for a spoon?

Why on earth would you need a knife when you have spaghettie?

I don't undertand you....... and I don't understand my partner, either.

and.

I live in NZ not Canada so I don't know/for sure about "The fork is always in their right hand and they sometimes use the side of it to cut things"

not sure this is happening in NZ as well?,,,, hmm.... It's very interesting anyway....

I'd like to know what other people's thoughts are

WHy would you need Spoon for Spahgetti!!!! ?

I do not understand him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's come from Ledbury, England. Maybe it's their own tradition (a small town syndrome )?

or his parents taught him like that way when he was a kid? his both parents are English!
