Whoever posted that snipped the rest of what I said. I never cut up fruit.
And rarely bread. When I do cut things, I do pull out the bread board and I
then put a paper plate on it to cut on. I do own some plastic cutting
boards. Once in a great while I will use them. But it's just easier,
quicker and a whole lot neater to use the plate.

If I am cutting veggies up for salad, I may even cut them straight into the
bowl I am serving them in. Sometimes I even use my salad scissors for that.
And when it comes to things like onions and peppers, I usually have some
leftover pieces in my fridge that have already been at least partially cut
up. So all I have to do is cut through them with my scissors. Chances are
there is a slice or two of tomato in there too.
