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.
