Always place them like this. This is the only “rest” position. The knife and fork are crossed on the plate with the fork over the knife with the prongs pointed down. This is one reason why the prongs are curved. A good butler or waitress will never remove your plate with the knife and fork crossed because he or she knows that you are not finished. Never wipe your mouth with one hand while holding a knife or fork in the other. Never keep the fork in the left hand while drinking water. Do not hold the knife and fork in this position when you are talking.
Don’t tie it around your neck or stick it in your belt. The fish or meat will be served to you on your left side. Take the serving fork in your left hand and the serving spoon in your right, holding them as pictured above. After you have served yourself, place the serving spoon and fork side by side on the platter. Vegetables should also be placed on your plate. Side dishes, except for salads, are not used at home, only in restaurants. When serving yourself, take small portions. If you don’t like what is served, it is permissible to refuse it.
Always break the bread with your fingers. Do not cut the bread with the butter knife; just butter the bread with it. The salad may be eaten with the salad knife and fork just as the fish and meat courses are eaten. Or if you feel the salad can be cut with the edge of the salad fork, the knife may be left on the table. At luncheon, salad is often served at the same time the meat course is served. In this case you may use the same fork you are using for the meat. Asparagus is eaten with the fingers, unless stalks are too long.
