But English and American are slightly different. The English way of eating is: hold a knife with your right hand and a fork with your left hand. For example, this is a steak, which requires cutting from the left, cutting off a piece and eating this piece immediately.

The American way of eating is to cut it from the left to the right. After cutting, put down the knife in your right hand, then change the fork in your left hand to your right hand, and fork it with your right hand, so you don't take the knife when eating.

Extended data:

Western food generally has knives and forks available, and they are more than one pair, often two or three pairs. Usually the knife is placed in your right hand and the fork is placed in your left hand. Three pairs of knives and forks are taken from the outside to the inside in order. Take the outermost pair first, the outermost pair usually eats salad; Then take the middle pair, which usually eats seafood; Finally, take the innermost pair. The innermost pair is for the main course and steak.

In addition, knives and forks in western food can't refer to people. When using western knives and forks to cut vegetables, you are very particular. The general habit is that the elbow joint of the left hand and the right hand should be clamped right on both sides of the waist to control your cutting action.
