I think the table manners seen on AmericanTV programmes have a lot to answer for. I once saw a US programme on etiquette, and the instructor ate her meal mainly with a fork, which I see a lot. They seem to cut the food then change the fork to the other hand and use it like a spoon. I was taught you should only do this for the last few peas on a plate.
My grandchildren do know how, but I tend to let them do their own thing. My mother used to nag a lot which spoilt mealtimes which should be a relaxed coming together of the family. I think sitting down to eat together is more important then using the correct cutlery.
