americans tend to slice everything, whole dish, and then eat using spork
europeans slice a portion and eat it immediately with spork

[Anonymous No.15121549]

>>15121520
i am both (1st gen burger from euro parents) so i understand

but this thread isn't about cutting the dish (and i do find it bothersome how often i see my burger friends cut their meat into bite size pieces before eating but w/e) but rather how he's using his utensils

who holds a fork like that? did nobody teach him any table manners? i had completely forgotten about this since quarantine, but i've been on business trips before with people who held forks like that or like an axe and basically it's fucking revolting

[Anonymous No.15121644]

Omg how the fuck is he holding the fork? How do you even do that? Looks so uncomfortable

>do reddit-americans really not know how to eat with a fork and knife?
Yes. It's the "my parents didn't teach me table manners" technique. I've noticed it when dining with the poor. They seem unfamiliar with utensils and their different purposes.

This is how Americans shave

[Anonymous No.15121966]

>>15121917
Not at all. Although the hand probably belongs to an American trying or figuring out tines-down. The only people I can think of who can comfortably use anything between the second and third fingers, rather than the first and second, are drummers using a traditional grip modified for extra power and stick control.

my best explanation for non-Americans is that somebody in the past tricked some Americans into thinking it was "impolite" to eat from your fork using your left hand (even for lefties).

so most Americans (especially middle class and up) will slice their food up normally into bite sized pieces, switch the fork and knife in their hands then eat off the plate with their right hand.

couldnt tell you whats up with the fork grip in OP's pic, thats fucked up.

What the fuck?

Are people making shit up? I'm in my mid 30's, have lived in 5 states, and don't know anyone who cuts the whole plate up and then switches hands. I use fork in right and knife in left, and really can't do the opposite but that's because trying to use my non-dominate hand for tasks seems to bother my seizures.

Europeans come here just to make up random shit about Americans and spread it around like it’s true. Even worse, there’s tons of ESL retards from South America that blatantly make claims about both Europeans and Americans with absolutely zero knowledge of culture beyond sopa de Macao.

im not European, im from the Pacific Northwest and my parents were raised in New York by upper middle class families. thats how they were raised to eat, thats how i was raised and ive come across many other people with the same story. my grandmother has always been big on table manners and says you should "treat every meal like you are dining with the Queen".

when i used to live abroad other Americans did the same thing and it confused the hell out of Europeans that just shovel food into their mouths double fisting forks/knives/spoons/chopsticks.

The Queen would never eat like that. She would be tolerating your crass dissection of the meal in advance, not endorsing it. In short, your grandmother fucked up.

My family bugs me about my hybrid-style. I tend to eat a lot of thick stews and rice... so I eat tines up and scoop (basically using the fork like a left handed spoon), unless I'm stabbing hard meat and veg - things that will stay on the tines.

It bugs the shit out of me ma, so I like to cook Asian when I'm over there and watch her fumble with chopsticks instead.

You should try Filipino style. Eating a normal meal with a fork and spoon instead of a knife. Have fun driving people berserk.

Ive noticed poor people do that. I was taught (as a righty) to slice my portions with my knife in the right hand and fork in the left, then place the knife down, swap the fork over to the right, and then proceed to eat. Eating directly from the hand used to pin the food was a sign of gluttony. My parents taught me this, and then later in Home EC they actually taught us etiquette as part of the curriculum, like we were Southern Belles who needed to be married off. Private school is fucking weird.
