Don't tell me you expect everybody to do that ridiculous British thing where food is squashed onto the back of the fork?
What's all that about, huh?

May be you've got used to the American (or Zig-Zag) method of cutting food? The Continental (or European) method consists of not switching hands, and using the left hand for all fork-related activities.

I hold mine in my fist.
It's better that way for stabbing people
that are concerned with things like
how I utilize dinner ware.
....and spelling.

Nah, I'm British, but I was raised continental.
What AustinWien describes is nothing like the way I was taught.

Yes Airotciv, I get what you mean!
But it's the thumbs up style of holding the fork that freaks me out! (after 5 years here mind!!!)
