While I do use the knife quite alot when eating, say, meat, I'd consider
mainly using the left hand when eating with fork and knife the normal right-
handed way. I may use the knife not at all when eating, say, maccaroni (that's
to say, I'm stupdily holding it motionless in right hand). I'll happily
concede I'm probably the odder one on this, but by your description sounds
perfectly right-handed to me. My right hand has quite a bit better motorics
than my left one, but eating doesn't really require any great motorics.

Ah, well, this tests works better on me that what I and Mr Cowan thought you
meant.
