Holding the fork vertically with downward pressure in the left fist while cutting with the knife. Then putting down the knife, swapping the fork to the right hand for eating. Bonus points for biting the forks.

It’s the most distracting thing in all American media. I like to yell “yanks eating weird!” And point at the screen. Once you see it you can’t unsee it.

I don’t think I’ve ever actively noticed that. And I have the feeling I’m going to regret now knowing this

We put the more dangerous utensil in our dominant hand so we have more control. You all don’t do that? Lol

Have never thought about it before, but while I am right handed I always hold knife in my left hand and eat with right hand. Cutting prepared food with non-dominant hand never felt like a huge task since what you usually cut is easy to cut, it’s not like you are trying to cut a thin slice from huge piece of beef.

They do that. They just don’t switch hands to eat.

So they just hold the fork with their non-dominant hand? What about if there is no cutting to do? Do they still just use their left hand with a fork?
