Yes you can, but you have to be very skilled at it and you need to have just the write amount of balance in each hand in order to pick up the write amount of food and to maike sure that it stays on the fork and does not fall off. Good table manners are essential to life and without them you could find yourself jobless, familyless and possibly even homeless. If your table manners are not up to scratch you should practise with all the different types of cultery e.g bread knife, butter knife, cheese knife, desert spoon, tea spoon ,soup spoon, big fork, small fork, starter fork, main course fork.............etc

∙ 13y agoThe proper use of a knife and fork can vary from country to country. In the US, we generally hold our forks in our dominant hand, usually the right hand. We then switch to cut food, using the knife in the right hand , and holding the food down with the fork in the left hand. We can use our knives to push food on to our forks
but we do not eat directly off, of the knife. It looks unseemly, and may be dangerous if you have a sharp knife. So please do not eat off your knife we dont want anyone hurt do we .?.
