To clarify: my fork lives in my right hand, except when I shift it to my left and use it to hold meat that I cut. Once the meat is cut, the fork goes back to the right hand for eating. Knife is on the table when not in use. That’s how I do it too. I think that is the American way.

That’s racist. Please try to be more inclusive. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/6qwJhXYN/6027-C012-ABAA-4-EC1-BB59-5725-C66-ACFCE.jpg) upload picsSome homemade bussup shut roti is the supreme vessel for sopping up juices. Garlic bread deserves a nomination as well.

When I first saw it- that’s what I thought too.
It’s called a tawa for making certain breads.

I am so uncoordinated with my left hand that I would end up with a fork in my eyeball or ear hole if I tried to shovel food into my face with it.

I use the fork in the left hand , knife in right. I cut up everything that needs cutting on the plate then switch the fork to the right. I will cut up what ever I can with the fork.

I’m feeling offended, for others that may, or may not, be offended.

I sit down and cut all my meat at once, with the fork in my left hand and knife in the right. Then I'm finished with the knife and eat the my meal with the fork in my right hand.
I also don't use a spoon to twirl my spaghetti.
But, I'm a barbarian, so...... Yep.  Baby foodeaters.....get away from mama's wing ...
I work harder than a ugly stripper....

I've noticed Europeans eating this way, plus they push the food on to their fork with the knife. Then, they put the food into their mouth with the fork upside down. Zimmern was in Stockholm last night & the Swedes seemed more prone to to eat this way than the Brits.

We Yanks still set our tables with the European silverware arrangement. Forks on the left is for holding forks in the left hand. Hold with the left, cut meat with the right, then smoothly move food to the mouth, still with the left. Use knife to pile veggies and such onto the fork. Repeat until done. Nothing could make more sense.
A European would (and do) laugh at how Americans use their forks like eating shovels, especially those clods who hold the fork in a fist.

Anyone see someone eat all of one thing on their plate, then another, till all the food is gone?

The same people who can't stand to have foods touch on the plate, likely. They'll never know the delight of mashed potatoes and peas.
