Stephen,
  Let's be honest.  The idea of eating utensils is to get the food from the
plate/bowl to your mouth.    Go into an oriental restaurant and it's the yanks
using the stick and the orientals using fork and spoon.  
   You want to look pretty and ethnic, brush up on your own ethnicity while not
forgetting "when in Rome, do as them does".
   But, as Miss Piggy said, "I don't knit sweaters with a fork, why should I
eat dinner with knitting needles."
   Practicallity should always win out over image.
