Shrug.
Some background - boring I know. When I was a in college a group of us went to a friend's house for the weekend - an Italian family. We sat down to a spaghetti dinner where I proceeded with knife and fork. Never gave it a thought. I had eaten in plenty of spaghetti despite a German background. That night all eyes were on me as I mercilessly cut those strands. Finally someone piped up and said "you sure are particular with the way you eat your spaghetti". It was only then I realized I was the only one using a fork and knife. Just seemed easier to me.
