Too much trouble with plastic ware. At least the plates and glasses are real. Now isn't this against common sense as a glass can be broken and used as a much more deadly weapon than a butter knife?!?!
Sorry, I just don't simply agree with the silverware issue. This is not FAA but airline policy as it varies between carriers and they alone are responsible and in control once the door is closed. Just install blenders in the galley and make my salad a gazpacho. Oh, and we could have some fresh margaritas later too!
