Is it weird to eat with your fork in your right hand and knife in your left hand? Other people have said that it's weird to use them that way. Although I've never really noticed. Is it a culture/customs kind of thing?

Which hands do you use your fork/knife with?
>>
fork left knife right, might be because I'm a southpaw though
>>
>>58894198
but most right handed people use it that way also. weird 2bqh
>>
>>58894126
If you're right handed you cut with you're right hand, same with the left except it's opposite.

i did the same when i was young and my family mocked on me

I'm so right-handed I'm not even sure I can trust my left hand to operate forks or spoons without the risk of spilling


This is legitimately worrisome desu
>>
All Dutch people have their fork in left and their right in knife.

It's a custom. It's tempting to use your right hand for your fork, as you use your fork the most. But it's wrong, because you don't need to put pressure on your fork. So it's more logical to use your dominant hand for cutting.
>>
I'm right handed and eat with the fork in my right hand and knife in my left, which is the opposite to almost everyone in the UK and NZ. I remember being taught to use them correctly and just dismissing it, why does it matter how you eat?
>>
>>58895936

But I've always cut with my left hand when eating so my dominant hand for this task is my left hand
>>
>>58894126
right hand for fork and then when you need to use knife right hand for knife
>>
>>58895976
That means you're not white.
>>
>>58895873
you can train your left hand until it becomes dominant, iirc I saw a video of a hockey player who was righthanded but became lefthanded
>>
>>58894126
Ah yes, let me use my superior and more agile hand to hold a fork in one place while my spastic other hand actually has to move and cut. Nice and logical.
>>
Rafael Nadal is right handed; his uncle taught him to play left handed to give him an advantage. If you watch him play golf he does it right handed

Fork in left knife in right is how it's done.
Some left handed people reverse it I think.

Canadians, everyone.
>>
i'm right handed, always knife in left, fork in right
>>
>>58894126
if you are holding both knife is always on the right

if you put down the knife you switch the fork
>>
I do the same as you OP, but according to da rules it goes the other way around
>>
>>58896338

>>
