Continental

American:

Fork something with left hand
Cut with right hand
Put fork down from left hand
Pick fork up with right hand
Eat
Put fork back in left hand.

Continental:
Fork with left hand
Cut with right hand
Eat.

Americans are honestly bizarre creatures.

Wife and I were at a restaurant a few months ago. Adjacent table had a college-age girl and presumably her parents. She was eating with her knife and fork in one hand, in kind of a cruciform manner. Very strange. She was telling her parents how easy it was and really efficient and a lot of other claptrap.

My fork serves mostly as a shovel to get the food to my mouth. I use american style on loose foods. I do most of my cutting with a fork as well.

my girlfriend eats like this, i know she has some nerve damage in her left hand from a childhood accident but i could never figure out why she was so bad at eating with a fork and knife until i had a couple meals with her family.

every meal her mother makes she hacks up everything with fucking scissors before serving. pork chops, grilled chicken breasts, even cheap steaks, all chopped up before serving. her whole family is retarded with knives because they have never dealt with anything on their forks larger than 2 bites. yet at the same time her mother never breaks spaghetti in half before boiling so there is always huge long stands of pasta that wont fit on your fork and you need to slurp like some animal.

dont get me started on watching them fuck around with chopsticks... they are good people but very working class and dont eat out enough with other people to point out their deficiencies.

The truly British way of eating is to use the edge of your fork as a knife. You only need one utensil, which you hold in your dominant hand at all times. It probably won't work if your cutlery is super cheap.

I had no idea what he was talking about, when he showed me, I thought that was the most ridiculous thing I had ever seen. I thought he was fucking with me till I looked it up.

I do both. If I'm eating things which need to be cut I use american. When eating something like peas or mashed potato, I put down the knife and eat continental.

Do continental style people just not eat things that require scooping or do they switch to a spoon every time they want to scoop?

Oh hey guys, hope there's no bigotry in this thread and maybe we can actually talk about food and drink for a change?

ps Why the fuck would you ever have to choose just one? Obviously one is for fork penetration and cutting while the other is to shovel sides like a vegetable or grain. Both is necessary for long pasta to twirl.

I do sometimes, I enjoy having the fork in my right hand and if I can cut up everything beforehand I'll just eat with my right hand. At home I use my left hand to cut with. I can cut with either hand though and if I'm somewhere I'm supposed to eat "properly" fork stays in left and I cut with my right.

Quickly.

[Anonymous No.13225017]

I hold my fork in my left hand and my knife in my right when I cut things. Usually, the knife goes back down onto the plate when I'm done cutting, but if I've got, say a steak, that I'm working on - I see no reason to put the knife down until I'm done.

[Anonymous No.13225090]

fork or spoon in right hand, not gripped like a fucking savage.

>In the early nineteenth century, Europeans ate just as we do now, but around 1850, the upper class stopped shifting their forks back and forth, and the Continental (or European) style of eating became fashionable. A French etiquette book of the time remarks: "If you wish to eat in the latest mode favored by fashionable people, you will not change your fork to your right hand after you have cut your meat, but raise it to your mouth in your left hand."
