Personally, I was raised to never put a knife in your mouth for fear of 
slicing your tongue or inner jaw.  Thus I kinda have to use a fork to 
"spear" to get it to my mouth....    I realize I can use my hands, but I 
tend to work kitchens during feasts and eating with my hands and then 
working with other peoples foods seems unwholesome even with washing my 
hands.
