Very good observation, Kathy

According to your deion, I think I use the European way to eat. Which is always holding the knife on my right hands to cut the meat and potato...etc, and use the left hand to hold the fork; Only cut a small piece of food, and put it into my mouth, then cut another piece. I didn’t learn this from my hu*****and; I have been doing in this way for all these years (maybe, I learned it from my mom). Well, Don't get me wrong; I only use this way to eat in front of others. IF I eat by myself, I will only use one fork or chopsticks.

I agree with your observation totally, that Americans and Europeans use slightly different way for handling fork and knife. Both my hu*****and and I are not in Upper class. But my hu*****and is German descent (they are famous for following the rules), and he happened to be born in a very conservative American family. So, they are very serious about table manner.
