correct ways to hold, and
TWO
ways to use your
silverware. Using your knife and fork, practice the two different methods described below and determine
which one is most comfortable. If you are a slow eater, we recommend the European method to speed up

The tines of the utensil should face downward.
Your pointer finger will press on the back of the neck
