Yes. The other essential aspect of the "proper" method is using the
fork as spear, not a shovel. The traditional English fork has well-
separated prongs made for such use.
We were taught never to take a mouthful of just one thing at a time.
The fork should be loaded with a bit of everything all at the same
time. So eating peas is not all that hard - you spear a piece of meat
or something else that will not fall to bits and then use you knife to
load some peas onto it.

Joann, apparently you don't know how attribution markers work. See
below. Count the number of >'s. The number of >'s in front of what
you said is always one more than the number of >'s in front of your
name/email address. "Which is the 'normal' way" was obviously said by
someone else whose name was not included, if you have a any idea why
those markers are there. Your name has 3 > and what you said has 4.
The attribution is correct. What was said by someone else has 5 >.
This is yet another reason why people should top post. That way the
headers and what the poster said stays together. People who trim
sloppily can just hack away and not get people, like you, who don't
know how to count the attribution markers so upset.

This has nothing to do with Americans. I use my left hand to hold a steak
(or a piece meat or vegetable or anything else) for slicing it or cutting
it. Why? Because I'm not left handed and my right hand more easily makes
the cut. I switch hands to eat with. It's more comfortable. Would you ask
me to write with my left hand? Sorry, but you'd get a child's scribble if
you asked me to do that. I'm not left-handed. I'm not ambidextrous. Why
is this such a difficult concept? It has nothing to do with which continent
you live on. It goes against the grain for me to use my left hand for
anything other than keeping my napkin on my lap while I spoon up the soup or
whatever with my right hand. And why (oh why!) do you keep trying to make
this an International issue? It's not.

So what is cutting up your whole steak into bites first, then swapping
your fork back one more time to eat your steak in it's entirety?
I probably use a combination of both because then I'd have to eat my
potato and steamed veggie leftie as well.

Ahhhhhhhh, OK. So it's a coordination deficiency. Thanks for clearing that
up.
Funny how it's affected 99% of the population of the "greatest Nation on
Earth", and no other countries, hey?
And, by the way, I do not take delight in watching Americans fumbling with
their cutlery and food.... especially not now, knowing that it is an
affliction that the whole nation suffers from. You poor buggers :-(
Laughing at an American trying to eat peas with a fork, would be like
laughing at a spastic trying to walk down the street. It's just not on!!

Don't you pre-heat you plate?
Yep, there's always that 'easy way out' option, I suppose.
Watching a person eating has always been a pretty good 'measure' of what
the person is like in other circumstances.
If they eat like a pig, they usually are. If they are 'lazy' when they
eat, they usually are. If they chew with their mouth open and make noises
while eating, they have no concern at all for any other person. Little
things like that.

But your complaint is that the way we eat is more difficult and

Are you accusing me of eating like a pig? That's not very nice, you
