: For the past few months I’ve been having cravings for soy beans – just boil them a bit, then eat them right out of the pod. Yummy.

You've got to add some salt in the hot water!
 
What the hell, Sage? Just because a family uses salad forks, that family has to be labeled weird or monetarily rich?

I think you people who take your chef boyardee and ego waffles to the corners of your bedroom for dinner are weird.

Sitting down to dinner with your family with salad forks builds good character.

Yup, you got it! :) My family doesn’t even have salad forks – just “regular” forks and dessert forks. The only time I’ve ever used a salad fork (other than at a restaurant) was at my cousin’s wedding, and that happened to be a multi-course meal served on gold-rimmed plates and with one of the band members from The Eagles singing on-stage. Horrendously expensive.

Salad forks can be either regular forks or dessert forks, though. a fork is a fork is a fork. Dork.

But nobody talks to a fork, of course.

The point of the Salad Fork is that it's taken away with the Salad Plate. (I worked "near" the catering industry for a few years.) Conserve your forks, people...It's all we've got.

When I was a kid, We didn't even have regular forks, let alone dessert forks. We lived in a cardboard box and I had to eat cold gravel for dinner - and we were grateful. So it must be nice to have been raised in a snooty upperclass family who had forks, and walls, and food.

Did I mention the bit about walking to school barefoot in the snow uphill both ways?

:lol: Sorry, I don’t mean to laugh at your expense, but… ;) Tofu is made from soy beans (which are only similar to potatoes in that they’re both non-animal products).

Just realised that I was thinking of kumara :dunce:
 
They both get the right hand treatment except when cutting steak, fork in left knife in right. Last night I was sleepy and was cutting an apple, I noticed that no matter how hard I pushed the knife it wouldn't cut. I then realized I was pushing on the sharp side of the knife trying to cut with the blunt side.
 
I am right handed.
I put the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right hand when I cut food.
If I am just eating I have the fork in my right hand.
 
I'm also right handed but I have my fork in my right hand and my knife in my left hand when I'm eating. If I'm eating in a restaurant, I have my fork in my left hand and my knife in my right hand ==> table etiquettes.
