In a typical setting what is the only fork to right of your plate?
Rhicksg
- There is no fork to the right of your plate. Proper etiquette is two knives on the right ... one for buttering a bun served with a meal and the second one for cutting. On the left side is your salad fork (generally salads are eaten first, but each individual is different) and then the fork to eat with the main meal.

What utensil would be the farthest left in a typical place setting?
In a most basic setting, on the left, between the napkin and the plate would ordinarily be the fork. In a broader setting, still referred to as a 'basic' setting, there may be a salad fork to the left of the luncheon fork or dinner fork. So, as a simple setting to visualise from right to left would be: Spoon, Knife (with blade facing the plate), Plate, Fork, Napkin. Above the spoon and knife would be a water glass and above the napkin and fork might be a butter plate, with butter knife, (handle facing towards the plate, and blade facing downward).

Optionally, a coffee cup may be placed above the knife and spoon.

In those scenarios, the entire collection of cutlery is placed to the right of where the plate will eventually go.
