I picked up that habit from traveling, and it has stuck. I'll get a strange look sometimes, and feel all sophisticated and snooty when I say, "Oh, don't mind me, that is the way I started eating when we were in Italy. Everyone in Europe does it this way."
What they don't know is that it also allows you to eat more without having to pause between cuts!
