I remember as a kid, my mom commenting on me with fork always in right hand and using knife in left hand to cut meat. She tried to tell me proper table manners is to switch fork to left hand and cut with right, then switch back. I'm kind of ambidextrous and it never made sense to switch - very inefficient. My take is switching back and forth to do everything right handed is for people that can't do anything with their left hand.

Better still ...

I eat my peas with honey,
I've done it all my life,
It makes the peas taste funny,
but it keeps them on my knife. grin

The real reason you should always keep your knife in your right hand is to be able to stab your brother's hand when he reaches for the last piece of fried chicken on the platter that you want. smile

Fork works just as well.


Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

Bring a righty, I don’t have the coordination to find my pie hole with my left.

Cut, switch, shovel.
