Forks come in two sizes. The larger fork is the salad fork and the smaller fork is the one you eat your main entree with. There is also a salad fork that is about 12" long and has about 3 "Spikes" coming off the end of it and is paired with another fork that is used to "toss" salads (to stir all the ingredients).
A dessert fork or spoon should be laid horizontally above the dinner place. If both a dessert spoon and dessert fork are present, the fork should be closer to the plate. The fork should have its tines to the right, and the spoon should have its bowl to the left. It is also acceptable for the dessert fork or spoon to be brought in with the dessert.
To the left. On the assumption that most people are right-handed, the handle of the fork should be presented to the diner's right hand.
In a formally set table, if the dessert fork is placed at the time of the original setting it is placed horizontally, above the dinner plate tines pointing to the right. (the dessert spoon sits above it with the bowl pointing left) If the table setting is less formal the dessert fork comes to the table with the dessert. In a buffet style setting the forks are set on the table near the napkins and dessert plates.
At a formal dinner, the number of forks typically ranges from two to four, depending on the courses being served. Generally, there is a salad fork placed to the left of the dinner fork, and sometimes a seafood fork or dessert fork is included. The arrangement is designed to allow diners to use the outermost fork first, moving inward as courses progress.
Wherever you want. You may just want to put it on the plate as you serve the dessert ,or pass a small silver basket with the dessert. Informally, you may certainly do as you please.
nobody knows and i thought that spoons and forks were the same size!!
In the order of the courses they will be used for , starting from the outside and working inwards. For example; salad fork (furthest outside), then entree fork, then dessert fork closest to plate.
At a formal dinner, cutlery is arranged in the order of use from the outside in. Typically, the forks are placed to the left of the plate, with the salad fork on the outside and the dinner fork closer to the plate. Knives and spoons are placed to the right, with the soup spoon or smaller utensils on the outside and the dinner knife closest to the plate. Dessert utensils are often placed above the plate or brought out with the dessert course.
You can use a fork.
A fork that you use to make vibration.
When eating your salad first you would eat with the salad fork (the smallest fork) and after you finish place the fork on the plate. When the entree comes then you use the normal size fork.
They didn't. The fork is a medieval invention.
