>In the American style, also called the zig-zag method or fork switching, the knife is initially held in the right hand and the fork in the left. Holding food to the plate with the fork tines-down, a single bite-sized piece is cut with the knife. The knife is then set down on the plate, the fork transferred from the left hand to the right hand, and the food is brought to the mouth for consumption. The fork is then transferred back to the left hand and the knife is picked up with the right.[1][6] In contrast to the European hidden handle grip, in the American style the fork is held much like a spoon or pen once it is transferred to the right hand to convey food to the mouth.

Yes, Yuropoors literally believe this is superior because they are obsessed with stupid etiquette instead of using the best methods. Sad thread desu, I bet all these people unironically use fork + knife and follow etiquette even when nobody can see them. I mean, the side of the fork is good enough for cutting 90% of the time anyway. Proper etiquette has its places (restaurants, eating with other people) but sperging over it is just dumb imo.

The fork is in the left hand, the knife is in the right.

You stab the fork into something.
Cut that something with the knife.
If you want, you scoop things onto that first something with your knife.
You put the fork into your mouth.

You do not switch hands.

I think I unironically switch hands. And I play piano at an extremely high level... idk it just feels natural. Idk I haven't eaten meat like that in forever. Do I switch hands? Hm... maybe not actually. But it does come off as pretentious in my mind and awkward. Like... it just feels weird going through it in my mind. Like throwing a ball with your opposite hand. It's possible but weird... I might bump my teeth or something.

How often do you guys unironically eat with a knife and fork? All I can think of is steak or christmas ham, but then all at once you cut the ham into bite-size pieces then switch hands to fork in the right - then stab the pieces.

That's what you do for a little child tBh

Why would an adult do this? All it achieves is to make the food get cold faster. Or do you shovel it into your mouths so fast that this doesn't matter?

I err... You know what I meant. IT'S BEEN A LONG DAY!

I was actually taught the two different styles as a child, complete with knowing them as "American" and "Continental". No idea why the fug I was taught this as my family is working class.

Anyway, I really don't care. I switch to Continental when I am in some fancy situation, but otherwise I don't pay attention to which I am doing. I probably do continental more just because you don't move your stuff around as much, but doing it the other way is easy to end up doing since youre constantly passing dishes around and grabbing cups etc. anyway

They're completely correct, I have never seen a grown adult completely cutting up their food and then only using their fork to eat.

It is literally how children eat. I cannot fathom why an adult would do this other than them finding it easier to use their fork in their dominant hand. And if that's the case I assume that is just a habit leftover from childhood.

>>53760257

Fuck, most brazilians do that shit and it really confuses me. And they even think I'm weird for holding the fork on my left hand, asking if I'm left-handed or whatever.

I'm really glad I had good parents that taught me how to use tableware properly.

>Wait, what? You go out to dinner with friends and they're concerned with what hand you hold a utensil with?
Some of my friends care, collegues care but in the end it depends on the kind of restaurant and social context.

If it's a place that does take out noone gives a shit and even in a good restaurant the waiter won't mock you.

People will take note though if you do it wrong.

Sorry you lack the freedom to eat a meal without having a thumb up your ass about it

I know you use sticks to eat your ants and rocks to crush your walnuts, jose.

It's having good manners. Do you go out and eat with your hands?

>>53760923
Only wankers really care about what hand you hold your utensils in, but I would use it as banter material probably. However, if you cut up all your food and then only hold your fork in one hand to eat, I would find that weird and child-like and I would banter the shit out of you for it.

Do you guys share food at restaurants?

Like you say "try some of this" and you all try a little bit of each others' dishes?

I am a big proponent of sharing food but I know some people don't like it. Any nationalities against it?

>>53761394

that is not typically done unless you are family

no

>>53761394
Only with very close family, otherwise it's fucking weird

That said if you're having Asian food, by which I mean any cuisine from Asia, it's perfectly normal to order things for the table for everyone to share. In fact it would be weird in my opinion not to. At least where starters are concerned

But don't you want to? I do it with my friends too. And I ask people I don't know very well if they want some of mine and I want some of theirs too.

And yeah chinese style eating, aka family style, is my favourite way of eating. Getting lots of flavours and sharing everything is great.

>>53761525
Yeah I guess if you're close to someone it's not weird but asking a mere acquaintance if you'd like to taste each other's food sounds bizarre to me

>>53761591
Well it's an exchange of food really. Personally I don't think it's a big deal at all I just like tasting flavours, I think it probably makes you more relaxed with each other too. Perhaps an evolutionary mechanic where our ancestors would only share food with those they trusted.

>How often do you guys unironically eat with a knife and fork?
1-2 times a week when it's needed. I don't see anything bad in switching hands I just eat meat with a fork in my left hand since childhood. Whatever you like is okay, we're not in a French king's palace.
