Discover the proper way to eat peas!

It's true what they say–learning is for a lifetime.
For many of us, some days off have provided us with the perfect opportunity to switch life up a little and improve ourselves.
Similarly, there are lots of household basics that we just can't believe we never knew.
One of those long-overlooked household tips has been uncovered recently, thanks to Etiquette Coach William Hanson's insight into how we should eat one particular vegetable–peas.
Peas are particularly tricky hangers-on to cutlery, often slipping off before you can get them to your mouth.
But etiquette expert William Hanson has come to the rescue to share the correct way we should be eating peas all this time–and it's a little different to what we'd expect.
'You're probably eating your peas incorrectly,' he said.
'We never shovel them onto the underside of the fork and bring them up to the mouth because they fly everywhere,’ he added.
Coach Hanson suggested, 'Instead, using the back of your knife, push and spear some peas onto the tines of your fork.’
'You'll have a neat little collection which you can eat with ease!' he added.
This technique may at first sound complicated, but it's actually incredibly simple and not as labour-intensive as we might think. Plus, you look a lot classier when you're doing it! What more could you want?
If you haven't tried it yet, maybe you can give it a go–it just might change the way you experience mealtimes.
What is suggested you avoid, though, is using a big spoon to eat peas. The big spoon will also take a lot longer than the more delightful approach suggested by William, and it's a good way to make a mess.
Instead, make the most of your cutlery and use them to their fullest extent.
People on social media appreciated Coach Hanson for his advice and shared some tips of their own:
'Not even joking, this is genuinely some of the most useful information that I’ve ever gotten from social media,' one said.
'Or get your mashed potatoes and use that to dip your peas, without losing a single one of them,' another advised.
However, other users said that they’ve never had trouble eating their peas:
'Why would I just order a bowl of peas?' a user asked.
'I'm just going to use a spoon–it'll also prevent my knife and fork from scratching across a plate,' a person added.
