I do! With the exception of holding my fork in my right hand (I never, ever use the shovel method, even when I'm all alone). So, essentially I eat European style as a left-hander would do except that when I reach for a glass, I reach with my right hand because I am generally right-handed. That was the gist of my question -- if one could eat with a left-handed style even though she is right-handed.
