    Expert Answer
    It's actually better etiquette to sit up with your back at a 90-degree angle and bring the spoon to your mouth.

    Can I use a spoon to eat steak?
    Community Answer
    No, as you will not be able to cut the steak or maintain the steak on the spoon. A fork will allow you to eat the steak more successfully.

  • Question
    Why do sets of cutlery not come with the round soup or cereal spoon?
    Community Answer
    In order to keep costs down for both the manufacturer and consumer, packaged sets are limited to the most commonly-used items: butter knives, forks, and tea- and tablespoons. Manufacturers typically offer accessories in the same design/style for those who want to round out their sets.

  • Question
    Do you use a spoon or a fork for mac and cheese?
    Lala Montgomery (Student)
    Community Answer
    You can use a spoon for the mac and cheese, so the pasta doesn't slip off. Usually pasta will slip off of a fork, but lasagna and ravioli is better eaten with a fork.
