Explain the meaning of wooden knives, forks and spoons

1. Fork placement rules:

Forks are divided into many types, one of which is called a salad fork, which is mainly used for eating salads, so it is generally placed on the left side of the large plate, about an inch away. The dinner fork, which is mainly used to cut steak, will be placed an inch to the left of the salad fork. There will also be a third fork, which is mainly used for eating fish and will be placed an inch to the left of the dinner fork. Therefore, if there are three forks on the table, the one in the middle is usually used to eat dinner. This needs to be paid attention to.

2. the placement rules of knives:

There are also many kinds of knives. If the main dish is meat, a dinner knife is usually placed on the right side of the large dinner plate. This knife can be used to cut steak or pork chops. It will be about an inch next to the dinner knife. Place a fish cutter to match the harpoon. If there is fish food, it is different from the knife and fork used in general meat food, because fish meat is more tender, and meat food has more stems and is not easy to cut. In addition, there is a small knife behind the fish knife. This knife is a butter knife. It does not seem to have a blade. It is mainly used to spread butter on bread.

3. Rules for placing spoons:

Generally, the placement of the spoons is relatively simple. The soup spoons are generally placed on the right side of the plate, next to the knives, and the types of spoons will be slightly less, one is a soup spoon and the other is a dessert spoon. Soup spoons are generally larger, but dessert spoons will appear slightly smaller.

4, the use of knife and fork:

People's habit is to hold the knife in the right hand, because it is more convenient to cut meat, so generally, the knife will be placed on the right, and the fork will be placed on the left. If a dish is finished, you can put the knife and fork together, then turn the knife and fork upside down, the sharp point of the knife and fork are facing you, and then point the knife and fork in the direction of four to ten o'clock, the waiter will come to clear the plate.
