There are generally two conventional ways to use knives and forks: British and American.
The use of a British-style knife and fork requires that the knife should always be held in the right hand and the fork in the left hand at all times during the meal. It is generally considered to be a more elegant way to eat.
The specific American method is to first cut all the things to be eaten on the plate with the right knife and the left fork, and then place the knife in the right hand diagonally in front of the plate, replace the fork in the left hand with the right hand, and then take a big breath. The advantage of this method is said to be that it is more convenient.
Regardless of which method is used, when eating with a knife and fork, be careful not to make a noise when cutting food, remember to sink your elbows, and do not open your bow from side to side. In doing so, one is to hinder others, and the other is to "sell well". If you don't do it, you may even be able to "escape" the food that is being cut.
The food that has been cut should be just right for the mouth at once. Don't pick it up and eat it one bite at a time. And you should eat it with a fork and shovel, and you should not pierce it with a knife.
Do not use the knife and fork that falls to the ground, but ask the waiter to change it. Also, pay attention to the direction of the knife and fork. When the knife is temporarily lowered, the knife edge should not be turned outward.
When using a knife and fork with both hands, the fork teeth should be facing downward; When eating with a fork in the right hand, the fork teeth should be pointed upwards.
Hints of knives and forks.
When it comes to the orientation of knives and forks, I don't just think that using knives and forks can also indicate to the waiter whether the diner has eaten a certain dish or not.
If the diner is talking to others, he or she should put down his knife and fork for a while. The method is to place the knife and fork - the right side of the knife and the left side of the fork, with the knife edge facing inward and the fork teeth downward, in the shape of the Chinese character "eight" on the dinner plate. Its meaning is:
This dish has not yet been used up. Be careful, however, not to cross them into a figure of ten. Westerners believe that this is an obscure pattern.
If you finish eating, or don't want to eat anymore, you can put the knife inward, the fork teeth up, the right fork and the left side by side, or the knife on the top and bottom side by side in the plate. This is tantamount to telling the waiter to put away the knife, fork and plate.
It's a bit of a hassle, right, just practice a few more times.

Anonymous users2024-02-06Knives, forks, and spoons used in Western food have their own uses, and cannot be substituted or mixed.
1.Knives are used to cut food, don't use a knife to pick up food and send it to your mouth. Remember: Hold a knife in your right hand.
If there are three different sizes of knives at the same time during a meal, the correct way to use them is: the one with small serrations is used to cut meat; The medium size is used to cut large slices of vegetables into small slices; The small, round-tipped knife with a slightly upturned top is used to cut through the bread and then use it to pick some jam and cream to spread on the bread.
2.Fork the left hand with the fork, fork the food to the mouth, the action should be light, pick up the appropriate amount of food and put it in the mouth at one time, do not drag a large piece, take a bite and then put it down, so it is very **. When the fork picks up the food in the mouth, the teeth only touch the food, do not bite the fork, and do not let the knife and fork make a noise on the teeth or in the plate.
3.Spoon. In formal settings, there are many kinds of spoons, the smaller ones are used for coffee and desserts; Flat ones are used for buttering and serving cakes; Relatively large ones, used to drink soup or hold small food; The largest is the one that is used for sharing soups, which are commonly found in buffets. Make no mistake.
Step 3: Tableware arrangement.
The tableware is placed from the outside to the inside according to the order in which the dishes are served. Some dishes are removed after use. The direction and position of the cutlery are particular.
The knife and fork are placed on the mat plate in a figure-eight shape, with the knife edge facing inward, and the tip of the fork pointing downwards indicates that you are going to continue eating; The cutlery is placed parallel to the mat with the knife edge facing upwards to indicate that you do not want to eat. The spoon is placed horizontally in the soup plate, with the center of the spoon facing up, which also means that the soup tableware can be taken away.
