Peas & Q's- To Sop or not to Sop
TA DA!
Guess what? It's ok to sop gravies and sauces from your plate with a piece of bread!!!!
But....it has to be done properly. You take a small piece of bread and put it down on the gravy or sauce, then lift it with your fork to eat.
You can also do this "in the continental style", with the fork tines pointed downward as they were when you sopped up the gravy or sauce. Make sure you don't drip and dribble all over the place as you bring it up to your mouth, though!
