Gagging yes, stabbing no. Some users are accident prone and spoons suit them better than do sharp or pointy instruments.<BR/><BR/>Personally I'm so used to having a fork in my left hand and a knife in my right hand---proper upbringing I suppose---that I feel a bit awkward with only one implement. I think spoons are really only ideal for soup and for dessert, and even there they are questionable. I think that's because they're ideal only for bowls. They're just not ideal for getting food off a plate. You need that knife to push the food onto the fork; proper upbringing doesn't allow for pushing food onto the fork with your thumb. I've never been into that spoon and fork thing for spaghetti either; I like to cut it with my knife and then push it onto my fork.<BR/><BR/>So I think the real question is whether Eclipse is more bowl shaped or plate shaped? Inquiring minds want to know!Ed Merkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05000982591510437551noreply@blogger.com
