How to eat with cutlery.

while most people may find use of cutlery quite elementary. This same practice has proven to be difficult to many. Well, that's why I wrote this post. Read on!. 

1. The knife should be held firm in your right hand with the handle tucked into your Palm. 

2. Put your thumb down on one side of the handle and your index finger along the top, however, never touch the top of the blade. Never hold the cutlery like a pencil. 

3. When using the fork with a spoon or knife, it should be held in the left hand, in much the same way as the knife. Also you should note that the prongs must be facing downwards. 

4.  When using the fork alone, it should be held in the right hand, with the prongs facing upwards, resting on the fingers and secured with the thumb and index finger.

5. A spoon is held in the right hand. Make sure it is resting on the fingers and secured with the thumb and index finger. Feel free when using it

6. You should also be careful while eating as there are some rules. For instance, food should be eaten off the side of the spoon; it should never be used at a right angle to the mouth . I know a lot of people who claim there good with cutlery didn't know this. 

7. Also, When eating, ensure that you bring the fork or spoon to the mouth, rather than lowering your head towards the food. So, Bring the food promptly to the mouth and do not gesticulate with the knife and fork.

8. Your Cutlery should be rested on the plate/bowl between bites. It should never be placed together in the bottom-centre when you are finished. 

9. You should also take note of this. Never gesture with your cutlery, and don't scrape or clatter it noisily against your plate or bowl. Doing this is just bad manners. 

10. Equally, it is bad manners to loudly clank your utensils against your teeth. Be sure never to do this anymore. 

Well, that's it, your ready to go and start eating like a king/queen, what ever your case may be. Slizzed is always happy to help you out!.
