Food table manners are instilled from an early age. At least they were in my day. This calls for no swapping whatsoever. My French BF still does this the proper way. Always. Wherever we are.

Particularly as I have evolved to be able to cut through just about anything using the edge of my fork. In Europe we are bought up to eat with a knife AND fork.
