According to my daughter you don't really need cutlery. Steak just pick it up and use your hands. Salad the same. Soup just slurp out of the bowl. I think this is the Arab in her that utilises hands and bread. I will still provide cutlery at my table thank you very much.

Look, hear her out... washing your hands after a meal is a lot easier than washing cutlery. Plus if you eat off and grab food with bread/pita/lavash there is no cleanup there.
