I often think I'm the last person who actually owns and *uses* fish
knives. And iced tea spoons!

Heh. Discussions about the correct use of cutlery (flatware?) always
reminds of the movie "Pretty Woman" with Julia Roberts... "Vivian" has
to ask the manager of the hotel to show her 'what fork she is supposed
to use for what', because she has to accompany "Edward" (Richard Gere)
to dinner at a fancy restaurant. Anyway, when they go to dinner, Edward
orders escargots as an appetizer...

At her first attempt to get a snail out of it's shell using those
special tongs and a fork, she bungles it - and shoots it right off her
plate and across the room... Heck, that waiter was fast. <lol>

"Slippery little suckers", indeed ;-)

Thank you, thank you. I've always wanted a fan club.
