Hi mohit,
congrats to your innovative questions. in order to avoid the problem, I do
not use the spoon or fork in such situations and I do not worry about people
around thinking some thing bad, as eating with fingers is not bad for health
or in any respect. only this illusive modernity makes these rules. so, I
think it is not wrong in over ruling them as long as there is no harm. for
example, to eat 'Idli', a well known south Indian breakfast, people use 2
spoons. but it is too difficult for visually impaired to eat like that. so,
I do it with my fingers. yes, its even in public. I don't mind as I think if
the people around me had the same problem, they would have developed the
custom of eating by fingers and at that time, eating with spoon would have
been rather unacceptable custom. say for example, for eating 'Dosa', another
well known south Indian meal, the same people cannot use spoon or any other
tool and inevitably they eat by fingers. so, I conclude, if sighted people
make customs based on their conveniences, why cannot we follow them
according to our conveniences? these are my personal views and you have
right to differ in yours.

Hold the fork gentlly, while you're in confusing state. However, the
empty fork situation seems dificult to avoid during some last moments
of the eating affairs.

Why feel concerned and embarrassed about an issue like not being able to

or
you have a choice of avoiding this situation. Trust me you are not the
only
one that can't fork something on your plate, I many times have put an
empty
fork in my mouth and sometimes have hurt my mouth too. It happens and I
just
learned to live with it, so did my friends and social network.
Relax, its not the end of the world or anything remotely close.

Hi all,
This time, my question is not as weird as all my other questions have
been so far.
My question is related to using a fork.
So, I usually use a fork for having things like pasta, noodles,
brownies,
etc.
However, sometimes, the thing which I'm attempting to have doesn't
stick in the fork, so my fork remains empty.
So, this can be a bit awkward in social situations.
My question is, is there a more definitive way of getting more success
with using a fork?
Is there a better way to ensure that the piece which does actually
stick to the fork is not too big?
Please do answer this question ASAP.
Controversially yours,
Mohit
