I agree that it's probably a matter of upbringing--my family is fairly upper-class by local standards (at least in terms of descent and social upbringing), but we always bite our forks if we use them at all. On the other hand, we're punctiliously correct when it comes to eating in the traditional Indonesian manner--with the bare hand, that is.
