Umm really? I wouldn't know the difference or reasons for using the different types of forks! I don't know many people who would either wow. I didn't know such things were so important today.

I try very hard to teach my kid not to eat noisily but unfortunately its not easily controlled either. i don't think people do it intentionally or are even conscious of it. Still, I try to make him aware of it, in the hopes he'll learn to control it better.

As for what to do, I agree with the idea of either not eating around that person or if you have to, try not to focus on it.
