<puzzled> I live in rather a Jewish neighbourhood, but neither of those mean anything to me. (I don't even know what Selzer is, and I've happily been carrying (or getting my guests to carry) metal cutlery out to my succah.)
(Actually, one thing that narks me about the occasional meals I've been to chez Chabad: They always use disposable cutlery and crockery. I mentioned to someone once that this was bad for the environment (something most non-Orthodox rabbis I've come across are strong on, but very few Orthodox ones), and got the response "Well, if we had non-disposables, who would wash them?" I should have pointed out that at the Friday night meals that my rabbi hosts every month (attendance probably forty or fifty, as against perhaps 150 at Chabad), we use metal cutlery and ceramic crockery, and the guests take it upon themselves to wash them up at the end of the meal...)
