Nah, that seems a bit contrived. But the reclining works. Hosts just don’t go round popping bread in guest’s mouths. This was dinner, not a worship service.

Ummm—first of all, it’s not bread. Secondly, this is Jerusalem in 33, not the U.S. midwest in 2011, so what we think of as normal can be tossed. Thirdly, Our Lord is literally feeding them Himself—the “host” is not normally part of the menu, so one has left the realm of “normality.” Finally, even if one is to ignore the whole last supper thingy, one has the Passover meal to work from, which IS a worship service.
