THE EUROPEAN STYLE

It seems that more and more people are deciding to make the transition from the 9-5 grind to the freedom that comes with working from home.  The internet affords hundreds of thousands of people the opportunity to work online from the comforts of their own homes.  The massive use of popular social media networks and tools has made working from home more possible than ever.


You can call it the European Style or the Continental Style . This method of using utensils is simply more efficient and less formal. Use common sense; if the occasion calls for a more formal technique use the American Style . According to the European Style , the fork will remain in the left hand and the knife in the right. When food is cut, the fork is used exactly as in the American Style , except that once a portion has been separated from the whole, it is conveyed directly to the mouth on the down-facing fork.

You don't have to put down the knife every time and transfer the fork over to the right hand. As you can see, the European method is more forgiving and allows you to use your knife in more situations. With the European technique, it is also permitted to use a little piece of bread to ease a stubborn item onto the fork. Here's a quick tip; whether you use the American Style or European Style , it's important to never cut more than one or two bites at a time
