Comment on The American way of using fork and knife is inefficient and inelegant.

Comments

It is more common in Europe to hold the fork in your left hand rather than your right. But I think that has more to do with handedness than anything.

I'm right-handed, yet hold the fork in my right hand and often get comments about being 'cack-handed'.

Part of being part of human society is to fight your basic instincts, which - as a right-handed person - would make you use the fork with the right hand. Hence why you should use the left hand.
