The American Style of Eating Americans and Canadians are probably the
only people in the world who use this style, sometimes known as the zigzag
method. Its done by holding the knife in the right hand (unless youre a leftie
like me, in which case the opposite is done) and the fork in the left hand. After
the knife is used to cut the food while the food is held by the fork, the knife is
placed near the top of the plate, blade facing in. The fork is then switched to
the right hand and used to pick up the piece of food, tines up. When you
pause during eating but have not finished, the utensils are placed in the
resting position with the knife placed on the right side of the plate in the 4
oclock position, blade in, and the fork placed on the left side in the 8 oclock
position, tines up. This alerts your waiter that youre not finished. When youve
finished eating, the knife and fork are placed side by side on the right side of
the plate in the 4 oclock position, with the fork on the inside, tines up, and the
knife on the outside, blade in. This I am finished position non-verbally alerts
the wait staff to clear your plate. Even though its obvious you are finished
eating, a well-trained waiter may ask, Are you finished? Smile and say yes,
thank you

The Continental Style of Eating

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.
The Continental style is thought to be a more graceful way of eating, but it
does take practice. The fork stays in the left hand, with the tines pointed
down, and the knife is held by the right hand. The food is then speared by
the fork and conveyed to the mouth.
In between bites (resting position), the knife and fork are crossed in the center of
the plate, fork tines pointed down. The I am finished position is the same as in the
American style with one exception: the knife and fork are placed side by side on the
right side of the plate at the 4 oclock position, with the fork on the inside, but the
tines are down (versus up), and the knife on the outside, blade in.
