Knife Fork
when is it proper to use a fork and knife to eat?
a friend uses a fork in his dominate hand and a knife in his non-donimnate hand to poke, prod, push, stir, scoot, shove, & to stack food on the back of his fork. he uses a napkin but also licks his fingers. also, both elbows are on the table at all times, except when he lifts his glass. he lived in europe and uk for years and says his manners are perfectly genteel for the area…very upper class…. really?
Upper class from which slum?
I always have my doubts when someone has to start “explaining” their behavior, and excusing it.
When is it proper to use a fork and knife to eat? Whenever there is FOOD in front of you, along with a knife and fork provided to eat with it. Some foods ARE “finger foods” and as such, it is perfectly allowable to use fingers AND lick them… in more “informal” settings like picnics and bbqs. Otherwise, utensils and napkins are proper.
Have a polite day.
