12.31.2021

1. The usage of knife and fork is divided into American style and European style. 

American usage is to put the knife on the plate after cutting the meat, change the fork from left hand to right hand, and then fork up the cut meat with the fork; European rules always take the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right hand. You can put food on the fork with a knife.

Dining order

generally, three sets of knives and forks are used from outside to inside. Silver knives and forks for fish, steel knives and forks for meat, knives and forks for lettuce, knives and forks for fruit, etc.

Placement method

If you haven't finished eating, put the knife and fork on both sides of the plate. The placement method is that the fork is on the left side facing down, and the knife forms an angle with the fork on the right; After dinner, the knife and fork should be placed on the right or middle of the plate to signal the waiter to take it away. When the knife is put down, the knife edge should be inward.

2. Precautions when eating steak with knife and fork

When cutting steak in the restaurant, first place a steak, usually with a knife in the right hand and a fork in the left hand. First press most of the steak with a fork, and then use a knife to cut it from the lower left corner to the upper right corner, one by one.

The restaurant eats steak, forks a small piece of meat with a fork, and then eats with some sauce. Your teeth can only touch the food. Don't bite the fork, and don't use a knife and fork to make a sound on the plate. If there is wine, take one mouthful of meat and one mouthful of wine. The taste is also very good.
