Straw - er, fork poll
Here's a question for you. Assuming you are righthanded, which of the following would be your usual way of eating at home, in casual situations?
1. Holding the fork in your left hand, rounded side up, and pushing the food on to the back of the fork with the knife you are holding in your right hand.
2. Holding the fork in your right hand, rounded side down, and scooping or spearing the food as necessary, only switching the fork to your left hand and picking up a knife in your right when there is something you need to cut.
Bonus question: How many of you have eaten the first way, but only in posh restaurants or at a state function with visiting royalty?
Please also indicate the following: Where did you spend most of your childhood: (a) Britain (b) Canada (c) other.
Answers on a postcard please. Well, actually, you can put them in in the comments section below.

I've spent all my Life in Canada. (well not ALL my Life, but most of it so far.)
