The eating custom and practice of the west is very particular. They eat almost everything with a fork. If it is absolutely necessary to use a knife， take the fork in left hand and cut off a piece of meat with the knife in right hand. Then put the knife down， transfer the fork to right hand， and transport the food to mouth. It appears that holding a knife in one’s right hand longer than a few seconds is considered to be against good table manners.
西方人吃饭用刀叉，用餐方式也颇有讲究。一般情况下，餐桌上摆放有一副餐刀和两副餐叉，外边的餐叉供你吃色拉，里边的餐叉用于吃主食和其他点心食品，餐刀用来切肉食。如果你两手并用，应左手握叉，右手握刀，切完食物后放下餐刀，再用右手拿餐叉取食物。如果右手一次握刀时间太长，就会显得不礼貌。
