I like peas but there really isn't a graceful way to eat them. If you try to use a fork, they start rolling off as you bring the fork to your mouth, falling and bouncing all over the place. Stabbing them with the fork only captures a few at a time and it will take too long to eat them that way. You can eat them with a spoon but that's considered de classe and could earn you a divorce from your social-climbing spouse.

What I like to do at home is pour them into a paper cup. That allows me to funnel them into my mouth so I can get a whole bunch of them at once. I wouldn't do that in a restaurant however.

Eating corn is difficult as well. Especially corn on a cob. Unless you are at a backyard barbeque, stay away from corn on the cob at the dinner table. Not only will you gross people out but you will get the corn stuck between your teeth and then you have to decide whether or not you are going to free it with your fingernail or hunt down a toothpick. Either option will not sit well with your spouse and could earn you a divorce.
