Marge and I do exactly the same. There! I've admitted it!

The important thing is that people and children should know HOW to eat politely with 'eating irons' for occasions when they are out in public.

Or tried to.
The only thing our dinner ladies taught us during meal times was that we were not allowed to stuff mash potato inside the water jug.
