Heh, don't be offended, but when I see people eating the way you
mention, and I am well aware it is the way people eat in much of
the world, it has the appearance (to me) that they just can't shovel the
food into their mouth fast enough.

Put down the knife when I could be putting food into my mouth?
(laugh) Know what I mean? Yes, I also know that people who eat
that way think it looks awkward to switch. To each their own, so long
as they chew with their mouth closed, that's what I say.

Fork on the left, knife on the right.
