Hi Carol, I think that we are all the same when it comes to food,and eating in public. I feel as though I am in that goldfish bowl,where you are being scrutinised by all and sundries. I try very carefully to not eat or order certain foods because of making a mess. I get on well with as I call it a fork job,which consists of anything at all that is small enough to fork up to my mouth. Well don't worry Carol,use your fingers like the rest of the sighted world,Remember,that you are as good as anyone else,and in some cases better than others. Regards Jan.
