I was once a guest in the officers mess of a British warship. The English, fork in left hand, mostly upside down with meat entree. And I was once a guest at a fancy schmancy dining room in the Olympic Hotel in Seattle, I watched the other people closely so I wouldn't embarrass myself or my host. Americans cut and switch.


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.
