When using a knife and fork, the knife is always in the right and fork in the left even if you’re left handed. Position your index fingers on top of the utensil and extend to the neck, then proceed.

  1. Nobody in Europe (except maybe high-class dining) is worrying this much about which hand to use and how to hold the utensils. Just hold it however you can cut and eat best, without making a scene (scratching your knife on the plate and stuff like that) preferably.
    Also nobody will bat an eye if you use your hands to eat ribs, pizza, sandwiches, chicken wings or fries. And nobody will actually look whether you wash or wipe your hands or not. Though you should of course, as that is a general rule anywhere in the world.

  2. I just ate a baked chicken with my hands, opened a beer with my teeth, all the while loading my rifle with my feet. Lifeskills.

  3. You are supposed to move your fork to your right hand after cutting. And never put the fork in your mouth upside down. But, it's food and it's eating so who cares

  4. Your demonstration was perfect. This is way of eating is easiest and displays the most elegance. (Switching from hand to hand every five minutes is not elegant.) Growing up with European family, this is how we were taught. In formal settings the way you eat shows your respect towards your host who has prepared your meal for you.

  5. Flaring your elbows while cutting your food is not a good idea. I love your dress xx
