Step 1: Hold the fork in your left hand and the knife in your right hand. You should know that the European dining method is also known as the "hidden handle method". Because the handles of the fork and knife are always hidden in the palm of the hand during the meal. The correct way to hold a knife and fork is: hold the knife in your right hand, with the handle completely hidden in the palm of your hand, and the index finger of your right hand against the back of the knife; hold the fork in your left hand, with the fork tines facing down, and the index finger of your left hand against the fork handle. lower part.

Step 2: Bend your wrist and aim at the food. Bend your wrist downward, and your index finger will naturally press hard against the knife and fork. Because the etiquette way of eating in Western food is that the elbows should hang naturally on both sides of the body and cannot be placed on the table. When the wrists are bent downward, the pressure on the elbows can be reduced during the meal.

Step 3: Hold the left and right forks against the food, and use the right hand knife to cut the food. Cut the food into medium-sized portions, just enough to be eaten in one bite.

Step 4: Use the fork to bring the food to your mouth. Likewise, with the fork's tines facing down, hold the fork in your left hand (don't put down the knife in your right hand at this time) and put the cut food into your mouth.

2 American style

Step 1: Hold the fork in your left hand and the knife in your right hand. The knife and fork are held in the same way as in European style.

Step 2: Cut the food. Holding the fork in your left hand and the knife in your right hand, start cutting the food from the left side. The action of cutting food is the same as European style.

Step 3: Switch the fork to your right hand. After cutting a small piece of food, place the knife on the right side of the plate (tilt the knife slightly so that the blade is at 12 o'clock and the handle is at 3 o'clock). Switch the fork to your right hand, with the fork cocoon facing up, and put the food into your mouth.

The correct way to use a spoon

Holding a spoon is the same as holding a pen. When you drink soup, take the spoon in your right hand and scoop out the soup from the outside to the inside (that is, scoop the soup towards the center of the soup bowl). When the soup in the spoon is about to be delivered to your mouth, tilt the spoon slightly before drinking the soup, and do not make a slurping sound when drinking the soup. When the soup bowl is about to reach the bottom, the hand on the left hand can slightly lift the soup bowl, and then scoop out the soup with a spoon.
