Thanks for the info. As far as mouth opening goes, with lots of practice I can now consume a large sandwich or hamburger using a knife and fork and eating European style, fork reversed in left hand and knife in right without switching out like we do in the states. As always, everything is cut into small bites. I get looks in restaurants especially eating chicken or ribs with utensils but I don't really care, it works. Good luck with finding what works as time goes by.
