Use the knife or a small piece of bread to aid the process. ("Peas!", http://www.cuisinenet.com/glossary/use.html ) You can use the knife to press (or "smash") the rice onto the fork. (Poster: c3cubed, http://www.styleforum.net/archive/index.php/t-62710-p-4.html) OR Elegantly turn the fork around while keeping it in the left hand. If necessary or needed, use an accomplice to distract people with witty conversation (or stupid antics) while you break protocol and eat your rice. -------- (Wow, this is almost like the classic "How the &*^* do you eat rice with chopsticks?!" conundrum. It boggles the mind.)
