[quote=GRIZ326,245240]If it is a western style meal, eating with chopsticks would be difficult, ICEBLUE. I presumed your question had to do with eating with multiple forks, knives, and spoons. My mother always told me to use the proper utensils for the course in the dinner and take the utensil from the outside and move to the inside. The method also applies to glassware, however, the waiter or waitress is responsible for knowing which glass to use. For instance, if the main course is prime rib when the salad arrives at the table, you use the small fork on the outside of the fork silverware; when the main course arrives you use the big fork. The same is true the knives; the sharp knife would be for the meat and the dull knife would be used to butter your dinner roll. While bread may be cut in the kitchen, it is generally "broken" with your hands at the dinner table. The big round spoon is for soup (when we were children we used the other spoons to shoot peas ;-) ).[/quote]
