Method/Steps

1

Hold a knife or spoon in your right hand and a fork in your left hand. More than two handfuls should be taken from the outermost to the innermost. ps: The basic action after the food is served is "hold the knife in your right hand to cut it, and then hold the fork in your left hand to fork the food."

2

The way to hold a knife and fork is to hold the end lightly and press the index finger on the handle. When eating with a knife and fork, you should secure the left side with the fork, cut a small bite with a knife, dip it in the sauce and put it in your mouth. ps: To put it simply, it means "press it with a fork and then cut it with a knife."

3

The spoon is held like a pen. If you find it inconvenient, you can change the right hand to hold the fork, but changing it frequently will appear rude.

4

When eating larger vegetables, use a knife and fork to fold and cut them. The American way of eating is to cut all the food into small pieces, then use your right hand to hold the fork and eat slowly. But if you eat juicy meat dishes, the juices will flow all over the plate, which is unsightly. So it’s best to cut into bites and eat them one bite at a time.

5

Softer food can be placed on the flat surface of the fork and sorted with a knife.

Notes

If you want to put down your knife and fork to take a break halfway through eating, you should place the knife and fork in a figure-eight shape in the center of the plate. If the knife and fork protrude from the plate, it is unsafe and unsightly.

It is impolite to wave a knife and fork while talking. After eating, place the knife and fork at four o'clock. The wine bottle is placed on a nearly horizontal slope so that the sediment in the bottle does not mix with the wine.

You cannot change the position of the set utensils at will, but if you are left-handed, you can use the knife and fork interchangeably when eating. However, after finishing the meal, the tableware must be placed according to the usage of right-handed people, with the handles of the knife and fork placed on the dinner plate to the right. The main reason for doing this is to avoid causing trouble to the service staff.
