Again, as far as the fingers are concerned, I can't remember anyone frowning on me using them except for teachers of the blind who made a big deal out of doing that. I believe that good eddiquette is important. I don't believe in picking up food from the plate and putting it in my mouth unless it is fried chicken, a hamburger, french fries and the like. As long as you use the fork or spoon and use the fingers as a guide, I see nothing wrong with that.
We're blind, others in the restaurant or meeting are eating and watching what they are eating or talking to others. The only gawking would be if one's head is in the plate, picking up food that should be eaten with a fork or just bad manners. Other than that whatever else you do is fine. Jessica, I didn't know you are only 16. In time you will mature, and you will learn to do what works best for you. -----Original Message----- From: Sisi Ben-Simon <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, January 23, 2012 2:25 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [CnD] cutting food I use bread sometimes but I try not to use fingers when I'm not alone, especially in a restaurant. I prefer to cut a piece and eat it and then cut another one, not the whole stake or pancake at once. This way it really doesn't matter where I started and where I should be cutting. When I'm in a restaurant or a hotel eating an omlet or some other fluffy egg I just put it on a piece of toast so I don't have to struggle with food sliding down the plate or on the table. Jesica you're only 16 so you have a lot of time to learn and find out whatever works for you.
