American food is very interesting. They eat almost anything with forks, and it seems to be considered against good table manners to hold a knife in their right hand for more than a few seconds.
Dietary customs and habits
American eating habits are very interesting. They eat anything with forks. It seems that holding a knife in your right hand for a few seconds is considered against table manners.
The system is that if it is absolutely necessary to use a knife, people hold a fork in their left hand and cut a piece of meat or anything in the normal way. Then they put down their knives and transferred their forks to their right hands. Only in this way can they deliver food to their mouths. This is obviously ridiculous, but it is considered good manners.
This usage means that if it is absolutely necessary to use a knife, people will hold a fork in their left hand and cut small pieces of meat and other things in the usual way. Then they put down their knives and turned their forks to their right hands. Only then did they put the food into their mouths. This is obviously funny, but it is considered polite.
