Don't tell me Americans ACTUALLY do this

He must to be a left-handed.

It's the traditional American way. The time it takes to switch hands was meant to slow the person eating down and protect him or her from the sin of gluttony.

This shit is starting to get really pathetic, Euros.

I don't get it, I thought you were supposed to do that.

Are you supposed to eat with your left?

Left hander here, i hold my fork in my left hand and knife in my right.

You autistic petty fuck

uncultured swine, begone from my eyes

I dont get it...

yeah im lost too. knife is on the right hand to cut then i switch. no one called me out irl yet

youtube.com/watch?v=JASUsVY5YJ8

here they mention it. 4:10 in

americans unironically put their knife down

the most shocking thing here is the russian with his hand under the table
you never put the hands under the table unless you are a psychopath

How does it feel to be superior to 90% of the world?

russians have awful manners, worse than americans
at the restaurant they will ostensibly order the most expensive champagne and yell about how they can afford it like what the fuck is this
they also call up the waiters very rudely like "girl !" "boy !" "here !" "come !" no fuck off you don't do that

terrible, do you also slurp loudly you fucking nigger ?

What is the thing here?
I'm right-handed.
I hold the knife in my right hand and fork in left.
I don't get it.

no russians on that photo

>you never put the hands under the table

Yes, by etiquette, you should keep fork in left hand and eat with left.

yes
this method was invented in order to make you able to defend yourself from sudden attacks (knife is in your right hand). if you deploy any different strategy, you will easily get stabbed.

Makes sense. Big if true. I've done it without anyone telling me this is an etiquette thing

No, but now i will whenever a frenchman is near me just to spite you

i mean the guy in the black shirt ? because it looks like cyrillic writing on his uniform

in england, manners say you keep your hands on your knees during the meal
in france, manners say you keep your hand always above the table

i gues this is because brits are shifty and french people are honest

I was aware that French avg IQ was dropping for the last 20 years but didn't realize things were that dire.

>cyrillic
>is russian
mon dieu...

What a petty thing to complain about?

you're all russians to me
it' like all asians are chinese, and all south americans are mexicans, it's just more simple this way

Eating with the proper etiquette (fork in left knife in right) feels good when you get used to it. Especially when you are sitting at a table full of retards who cut their food with their forks and never use their left hand. Then they stare at you while you eat and feel uncomfortable for being savages

>talks about manners
>arr rook same
i don't know what to say...

>ukrainian
well you should be agreeing with me that he is russian then

I agree when my mom and dad worked I had to go to my grandma after school she would cook and pay attention to such things Iam very glad for this now that Iam older.

what else did she teach you?

Same how all French people are muslim

Based North African bro telling it how it is.

lol

today I find out greece is actually in america

Is that a boomer thing? I've heard that boomers are notoriously bad at handling cutlery. They're like primordial apes.

No it's the younger generations in the west now especially that nobody cares enough to teach them etiquette.

Same here except it was my grandad.

Ironic that most of your countries would starve if we weren't selling our excess food to you.

>that reflection
dios mío...

Me? I always eat the proper way with fork in left, knife in right. really easy to do, not sure what the fucking issue is

why does this matter lol. Don't eat with your mouth open and don't be obnoxious. Only table manners you need

>not realizing that there's an American and European dining etiquette
Russian education. Fucking bydlo.

You can't see my face though, just my other hand holding my phone

>knife in the right hand to cut
How in the fuck? Fork in the right, knife in the left full time for me

Says the one on Jow Forums complaining about how americans use their forks lol. If you're like this irl you have 0 friends

what if i dont live in murica?

g*rmans everyone

You probably whine incessantly about irrelevant shit shit to fellow argies then

He's a 30+ yr old loser. Gets bullied on /brit/ for doing the same thing there with those images. Nobody likes him. He's been in this thread for nearly 5 hours lol.

Do you autists really care about this shit

Why would you swap it between hands? Why not just hold the knife in your left hand and cut it like a normal person?

I preemptively cut the meat into several pieces before starting to eat. That’s the best way to enjoy a meal because you don’t have to make any effort inbetween bites and can focus your mind on appreciating the taste and consistency of it.

Table etiquette is the 56% Euros attempt at acting as white as they can. You should see the training videos they have for these, they're all from the 90s and are narrated by old bitches trying to talk like the Queen explaining utensil holding and different plate types for 2 hours.

I used to join in the American bashing threads but this is by far the most pathetic attempt at acting superior that Jow Forums has ever managed to conjure.

t. 12yo

there's a difference between being autistic about which glass goes where and which fork is used for which starters, and knowing how to hold your fucking dishes properly which is something that is expected out of children

by the way this has nothing to do with europeans vs americans, this is rich people vs poor people, only poor people eat like in the op

Your post makes no sense, first you claim it's "something that is expected out of chilren", then you claim that actually it's just a poor vs rich thing. If you're going to LARP on 4chinz, at least make a genuine effort.

it's expected out of children if you aren't a bum

>I preemptively cut the meat into several pieces before starting to eat.
(you)

lol I do this, never knew it was wrong

alri arab

table manners are all fucking dumb and gay and if you care about it you're just a cuck

Both children and the poor are uneducated, that's what he means

Table manners differ from country to country you sperg. What's rude in one place is OK in another. I'm American and even I know that.

There is a standard, and if you are unitedstatatian, you should know it unless you come from am uncultured background, which you didn't choose

knife in right, fork in left
never keep hands under the table
never rest your elbows on the table
never speak with food in your mouth
don't stretch for items on the table

if you can't do these simple things when eating you deserve to eat outside with the dogs you barbarian

I've shared my thoughts on russians on this basket-weaving community bulletin board and Janathan Joestar banned me every time.

Why are nordcucks so autists?
I prefer to use knifes with the left side

Ah yes very efficient. I'm not doing a dance recital I'm trying to eat so I can do something else.

what's wrong?

Same here.

This shows how this is a standard. If I did anything else I would be told the same thing, if you can not behave in the table you better eat with the dogs

yep same rules here

>taking manners and etiquette advice from a russian
Not happening.

I use the knife in my right hand because it works better for me, not because "it's the rules". You people are retards.

What if you're cutting something tough like steak? It's annoying cutting something with your non-dominate hand

Who the fuck cares, I just want to eat

Shit thread

Fun fact, this is actually "american style" because that is how americans did it in the 18th century
(well more or less because at step 2 you drop the knife completely)

it's just body language, like if you have a slouched back or don't look at people in the eye
you do whatever you want but the day you have some important business meeting maybe you wish you listened to the fags who wanted to teach you how to eat properly

Abandon thread, they don't care to learn

Body language is subconscious and involuntary. This is etiquette, and it's arbitrary, and it matters to people who think it matters.

You're French, so you care about these sorts of meaningless displays of superiority, because a display is the only type of superiority your culture has left.
