[@tarotstrology9847]

This was by far the best video I've found on how to use fork and knife properly. I'm from the USA and lived in Europe for a year where they only use fork and knife. I was confused so many times, I would try to examine my friends hands when they ate to see how it was done but couldn't perfectly imitate. But with your video I sat down to eat a meal using your rules and it was effortless! I was like " finally someone answered my question!!" I didn't know whether to put my fork in left or right hand lol Thank you!!

[@liveoakgap7489]

You are a grown woman and you need someone to tell you how to use a fork? Are you serious? Don't make more of it than it is. You learn to eat at your parents table... Not hers. These are not table manners. What she is teaching is a performance, an exhibition, a contrived spectacle.

[@seph1109]

@@liveoakgap7489 How insensitive. You do realise that etiquette and the use of cutlery vary depending on the country? They clearly stated that they are from the US, and not from England.

[@liveoakgap7489]

@@seph1109 they eat a lot of horses in England, but that doesn't mean you have to eat one.

It depends on whether you are left or right handed , the majority of people are right handed

Hats off for the presentation style with simple and cute smile....................

[@theo9952]

I hold the knife on my left, my fork on the right and i don't change anything while i am eating. Fork on the right feels natural to me and i have no problem to cut with the left at all.

[@pinakchakraborty3711]

You can exchange the fork from left hand to right hand in American style.

[@Autumn_moon1111]

That’s a lot of work while eating. Every time you cut, you switch hands? The food will fall off of the fork while switching hands

[@kiranjotkaur4711]

You have explained so clearly that everyone can understand.

[@piotrtrocki3842]

THE REASON WHY YOU PLACE FORK AND KNIFE CROSSED IN THE MIDDLE IS SO IT MEANS YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED YOUR MEAL. IF YOU ARE DONE, THEN YOU PUT BOTH FORK AND KNIFE TOGETHER AT ANGLE AS IF IT WAS 20 PAST 4 ON THE CLOCK. THOSE TWO WAYS ARE MESSAGES FOR THE WAITERS SO THEY KNOW IF THEY CAN TAKE YOR PLATE OR NOT.

[@akshay-x8t]

Holding fork only on left is continental and in American way, it is allowed to put the knife down on top of the plate to transfer fork to right hand.

[@BernieRamone351]

because USA cant eat properly, doesnt make it correct

[@brittneywillis4618]

This was very helpful!!! Thank you for the addition tip on crossing the fork and knife if you have to put your utensils down!

[@zararoyce319]

Yeah that is a great tip, because otherwise you can come back to the table and your item is gone because they will assume you are done, it could also be assumed that you discreetly didn’t care for that particular dish so that’s a discreet way to just get out of having to eat it without any awkward fuss, so if you step away from the table without that indicator your item will probably be gone when you come back

[@miketaverner4451]

Never ever cross your utensils, ever , at any time.

[@grantharrismusic]

It’s incorrect. Don’t do it the way she has demonstrated. You place the fork with the tines facing down if you haven’t finished your meal. You place with tines facing up and your knife and fork together side by side when you’ve finished your meal.

[@005order]

Well, there are two styles, one of which is the American style. In American style you can switch the fork to your active hand to take the food in your mouth.

[@xcitive]

Exactly

[@xcitive]

But yes, do not switch at the same time. Put the knife away from you on the plate and switch the fork. Once you’ve eaten switch the hand back. It’s clumsy really.

[@noctilux7799]

There are two different conventions, but only one has style.... ;)

[@Clery75019]

Sorry but the American way is properly impracticle. This certainly explains why Americans struggle so much to eat pizzas or burgers with cutlery. Always keeping forks on the weak hand is far easier.

[@shaistaanayat3139]

[@camthesaxman3387]

[@carolinemagee8033]

This is the continental way of eating and when there please follow their etiquette. In the 🇺🇸, changing hands is accepted, proper...depending on your host. Great video. The continental way is more cohesive.

[@johnbusher6375]

Well said Caroline. The presenter doesn't seem to accept the U.S. method as correct for us. She did, however, give a good example of the Continental method. That was one helluva big piece of omelette she cut off, glad I didn't get to see her fit it into her mouth.

[@liveoakgap7489]

Proper etiquette does not mean you have to use your utensils in an uncommon way. Proper etiquette means you respect people. I can't imagine a host so rude and Ill bred as to correct someone's table manners. ..

[@stephaniec5139]

I just cut the meat before I eat it😅 I'm 56 and never eaten this way. Not changing now🤷🏾 Good video❤

[@liveoakgap7489]

The knife isn't the "active utensil" in eating. The fork is. Keep the knife in your left hand and eat with your right hand... Assuming you are right handed.

[@johnbusher6375]

I think that most right handed people have better control and strength with the knife in the right hand. Accepted etiquette would call for switching knife and fork. This presenter gives a good example of the continental method. IMO the way one holds the fork is more important.

[@StevenHughes-hr5hp]

The omelet would fall off. A fork is curved specifically for scooping softer objects up. It was not designed as a stabbing weapon unless it involves something like steak. Try eating rice and beans holding it upside down like that.

just use the side of head of folk to cut the omelet and eat while you text with the other hand

[@islandgyal_april]

Tk you ❤️🇹🇹🙏

[@eileenfb1948]

Don't ever cross your cutlery, place near each side of the food - knife to the right, fork to the left. Or informal, rest your hands with the cutlery coming into that position. UK. Also don't move the cutlery at all unless it is in the act of eating - you were moving yours as you spoke. Don't hold cutlery above the table or plate - rest them and keep your hands away except when cutting up food and putting it on the fork

[@aditidwivedi6719]

Where to hold the fork if you're left handed? As cutting with knife requires more power which we lefties can do only with our left hands.

[@SheMeansBusiness]

You just do the opposite. Hold the fork in right hand and knife in left :)

[@aditidwivedi6719]

@@SheMeansBusiness That i can do but then the people I'm surrounded with would think i don't know the rules of holding knife and fork :') Most of them don't even think about the left-handers.

[@SheMeansBusiness]

Not really. 1. When you eat right, it shows. When you cut and eat with the wrong hands one can make out because the position of the hand is wrong. But when you are left handed automatically you will position your hands right. I'm trying to explain but failing :) Cut with left and eat with right. Anybody who sees you will be able to make out. Also confidence should come from knowing you are doing the right thing, not what others think
