I noticed in restaurants, that a lot of people can't use them properly by using both.
I was taught how to eat like that since I was very little.

Sometimes I'm debating if I take out someone to a nice restaurant whether or not I should do it, because once it was sort of an awkward moment for her I could tell, when I was eating my stake dinner.

I suggest you learn it..or don't get confused or if you don't know how, don't even try to attempt it, especially on a date, it could be weird or embarrassing.

Just eat your soup with soup spoon and not a regular spoon, use a steak knife to cut your steak and don't use a steak knife to eat butter your toast, and if you get a hamburger the heck with the utensilswhoa slaphead

I’ve seen restaurant nightmares too. slaphead

If there are more than the basic 3 utensils, the person becomes a monkey and can’t use anything!

Water glasses, white wine glasses, red wine glasses, Oh My! :angel:

A shrimp fork and a salad fork will cause them to go into meltdown!! surprised laugh

Have you ever caught them counting the tines? whoa laugh

I would be one of those Neanderthals that would know a salad fork from a shrimp fork.

Oh the HUMANITY!!!!

Oh the HORROR!!!!!

OH MY GAWD!!!!

That is SOOOOOO terrible.

Whatever.

If it can stab the salad AND the shrimp...that's good enough for me.

That is a much better attitude and confidence over some people. :thumbsup:

If a person doesn't make a scene and does their best - that is better than acting out and making things worse. winking

To me I don't think it matters that much really. A fork is a fork is a fork lol. Same goes with other such utensils depending on the size. But then that's just me.

Indeed. Eat with your hand or just eat the way you eat but dont' try anything fancy , and definitely don't try anything you have never did before. ON a first date.

Actually, being able to handle food utensils in general is rather interesting to watch. I know an amazing amount of people who make a fist around their knife or fork, which just looks awkward and like they're hovering over their food ready to stab you or something. Weird. And then they hack at the meat, instead of shifting the utensils around to cut the meat.

Mom taught us the basics with all utensils, but I don't do the whole salad or shrimp forks, or multi-size spoons well enough to truly be up on it. Corner of the eye, and follow a person who does seems to get me past the worst mistakes, though.

Oh just give me some chop sticks and I will be fine. Yes. Iknow the difference between the appetizer fork, salad fork, main fork, tea spoon, soup spoon, butter or condiment knife and steak knife.

So, if I hold my fork with my toes to eat.....is that a bad thing?
