User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, there is no law dictating which hand to use for cutting and which hand to use for eating when using a knife and fork. It is generally considered polite and proper dining etiquette in Western cultures to use the knife in the right hand to cut food and the fork in the left hand to eat.

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.

Do you eat lasagna with a knife and fork or a spoon?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Adults and children above toddler age eat lasagna with a fork. Below a certain age, children might require assistance from an adult to cut the lasagna into bite sized pieces. Use of knife use would be optional, except when eating continental style: where the knife is used to place the bite-full on the inverted fork. (In the US, the bite is pierced or "shoveled up" with the fork.) Except for very small children, a spoon should never be used to eat lasagna.

When you put dessert fork and spoon above the plate which direction does each face?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

How can you eat without a fork and a knife?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The spoon is usually for soup. When using the spoon start from the inside of the bowl closest to you and cup the soup outward then sip from the spoon (don't swoosh off the spoon as it's bad manners.) If no soup is being served then it's meant for dessert. If you are right handed then the knife goes into your right hand, fork in your left hand and use the knife for cutting and then eat with the fork. Some people refer to cut their meat or other items on their place into small pieces all at once and then just use their fork in their right hand and in most instances this is still considered good table manners.

The only recorded ordinance banning the eating of Why_is_it_illegal_to_eat_chicken_with_a_forkwith a fork is on the books in Gainesville, GA, USA. The city commission adopted the ordinance as a publicity stunt in 1961 due to Gainesville's status as "Chicken Capital of the World".

At a dinner table Which fork should be used first?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Eating a formal (and casual, too, sometimes) dinner in the US (and other Americas), you cut meats and other foods using the (inverted) fork in the left hand and your knife in the right hand. Then, when not using your knife, lay it on the rim of your plate at the top (until you need it again), switch the fork to the right hand, place the left hand out of view on the lap (napkin), and proceed with taking a bite using the (non-inverted) fork. If you need to push food onto the fork, use right and left hand to tear a small piece of bread, and the left hand to hold the bread while loading the fork. Piercing of food should be done never or as seldom as possible--see reason below. In the West is it poor etiquette to eat while continuously holding fork and knife, or to keep left hand continuously above the table.

In Europe, the fork and knife are held, respectively, in the left and right hand--except when cutting, the opposite of the US. When not using the knife, it can be rested on the plate rim just as described above. Cutting is done with inverted fork (in left hand) to steady the food and knife (in right hand) to cut. (In both Europe and the US, do not "saw" food with the knife but, rather, cut the food using pull strokes of the knife. Vigorous sawing is to be avoided as it runs the risk of a mishap that propels food or dropped utensil onto the table or other diners; or causes damage to a host's/hostess'es fine chinaware.) To take bites, utensils are not switched as in the US, and bites are taken on the inverted fork using the left hand. The inverted fork is loaded using the knife held in the right hand. Again, piercing of food with fork is discouraged--the reason is to prevent the possibility of having to yank the fork out from food held in teeth in order to dislodge fork from the food. There is more latitude on the Continent as to holding utensils in both hands but, as a rule of courtesy, the knife should not be held during more than momentary pauses while eating. (If stopping to converse, put the knife down.)

When finished eating (even with food remaining on the plate) lay the fork and knife crosswise in the middle of the plate. Doing so signals to servers that you have finished eating (that course or the meal) and that the plate can be removed.

It is advisable to practice these steps at home and at sit-down dinners with friends . . . so that proper table etiquette will come naturally when eating out in fine restaurants and in formal and business settings.

What is the use of dessert fork?

Asked by Wiki User

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).
