I'm with True on this one. Etiquette rules like this were only created so those who know can look down on people who don't.

Plus, everyone knows the best way to get peas is with a knife!

This feels like a rare Mrs True L. Look how sad our boy is.

Let the man use whatever utensil he wants. As long as he isn't slurping his soup, who cares how he uses a spoon?

@Bougie_Birdie @clark Everett's pretty damn petty sometimes, this is his karma coming back to bite him.

No doubt, I just find I'm usually on Mrs True's side when she trounces him.

I eat my peas with honey

I've done it all my life

It makes my peas taste funny

but it keeps them on my knife.

I eat my knives with honey
I've done it for a while
It makes them taste less funny
But they still stab and slice all the way down my throat help I am addicted

Everett's home life explains a lot about his demeanour in public...

My household frequently made fun of me for using a spoon to eat rice instead of a fork. We make rice such that the grains don't group together and eating it with a fork is the least intelligent choice possible. Btw the bullying was about "kids eat with spoons".
