Bijou a spoon! I think you have the right idea there, less droppage and you can load it up more.
At the end of a meal I leave the cutlery at the six o clock position, it just seems natural, and I never leave anything on the plate for ‘Miss Manners’ either.
sluttygran I loved your description of what the baby does .
The only heinous crimes of the table ( to me) are slurping,
Talking with a full mouth and grabbing food instead of asking for it to be passed.
