How could you possibly sit down to eat without a proper salad fork?
Proper salad fork......pffffffft!!!
That's just dumb. And wasteful. The fork that works for steak works fine for salad too.
Besides, I don't eat much salad. Salad is what food eats.

Good, and as always you are scathingly succinct and insightful. Is it just because I like to hear my open voice that I take the long way around? Rhetorical, but I think so.
That would perhaps be a quintessentially rhetorical question, lol!

I'm find salad much easier and more enjoyable to eat with my fingers. Most foods actually, as I have arthritic fingers and a tremor.
I don't have to get out a lot, though.

How gauche! Salad can only be ultimately eaten correctly by the right implement. And don't forget the right spoon. If you need a guide, start from left to right. Or indigestion may follow and Lady Elizabeth will turn away from you.

I have a cousin who eats salad with her fingers. I thought it was kind of strange, but it's none of my business. And, I'm all about "finger food".
Saves on washing dishes!

I am familiar with the usefulness and function of fine dinner ware. I just cannot handle it. Washing up after is a chore if one continues to drop forks and cutlery on the floor. To say nothing of shirt fronts staining... Salad oil comes out better in the wash if you rub peanut butter or Dawn into the stains.
One must admit that Lady Elizabeth's best side is most clearly viewed from that posture...

Rumi, I'm a troglodyte. I require one fork, one knife, and one spoon to eat a meal. I only require a spoon if soup is involved because that one is hard to pull off with a fork, and people look at you funny when you drink it from the bowl.

One fork is all I need. that's all I can put in my mouth at one time. And if it falls on the floor the three=second rule applies. Maybe that is why I haven't caught the C***D-scourge. I have plenty of herd immunity and antibodies from a lifetime of playing in the dirt. My philosophy is a clean house is the sign of a wasted life. Clutter is what bugs me more.
Ever tried the Knork?! A combination fork with a knife-edge on one side so you can cut your mouth.

I'm with you on the clutter. Drives me nuts! My wife is the cleaner around here, but not to an extreme. We live in the country with 2 large dogs in, and out of the house all of the time, so germ free is not an option here. Just try to keep the mud, and dust to a minimum.
A knork?
Sounds pretty utilitarian, but sketchy!Jun 1, 2020 22:50:29 #

Things change and sometimes improve over time. If you guys are typical, Rumi and I may be just a bit out of touch. Once it's safe to do normal stuff again, like the before times, perhaps I wouldn't really stand out in the crowd as I'd have feared....

I'm not assuming things will go back to normal. This represents a major paradigm shift in our world.

Interstingly, at his suggestion and guidance, I once had dinner with a blind friend in a totally dark room. Talk about paradigm shifts.
We will most likely do a lot of the same things in different ways.
