>not preparing every dish so that each bite is properly sized so you do not need to cut anything

"american style" forgot to mention "rests elbow on table and moves head down to food on fork instead of lifting the fork to his/her/their mouth like a civilised human-being"

>Not just having your mom cut your meal into pieces for you.

>tfw almost always hold fork in dominant hand

Sounds like someone is just jelly of Americas maximum DPS system of eating.

>stab entire piece of meat with fork
>take bite out of it
>wiggle fork to remove from meat
>repeat each time you want more meat until meat is gone

Not everyone still lives with their mommy user

>not being ambidextrous
Lesser beings need not apply.

Wait is this an actual thing? Everyone I've ever seen eat a steak does the one on the bottom.
If I saw anyone constantly switch hands every time they need to take a bite, I'd assume they're mentally ill in some way.

>I'd assume they're mentally ill in some way

Hmm, amerilard style is mentally ill. Yep, checks out, good deduction.

>using cutlery
pfft look at this pansy

>hold fork like a pencil

Wut? Why not hold it like a fork?

Who decided it's an American thing? I don't know anyone in America that eats like that.

Why not just cut the whole thing up, then eat? Batch > Continuous process.

>not remaining armed at all times to fend off wouldbe attackers

Enjoy not be able to get the guys hands off your throat because your own hands are covered in slippery meat juices

Gave me a chuckle top comment

The only people I have seen eat like that were Americans.

We are not the most posh family. In fact we are pretty casual and on the lower end of the income spectrum. But we still laugh at our invites American guests because they go through all that effort to switch the fork between hands where they could just keep it in one hand

You are and your anecdotal smug supeririotity are fucking Canadian queer fag-boh's

>Batch > Continuous process.
Literally no

>ITT: amerilards btfo for using a knife and fork like a retard and in full ass damage control.

>tfw american but use continental style
i feel unclean.

I eat continental style (cause my mom is a euroboo) in America and actually got called out for eating weird during a work lunch. A girl piped in with "it's the classy way to eat!"

People and their insecurities, man.

I'm left handed and apparently eat European-style, but with my fork in my dominant hand. Never seen an American eat like that "American-style" but it sounds annoying and impractical.

>not shoving whole chunks of food down your throat with a pestle

fuckin queers

If you eat green beans do you use your non-dominate hand to holds the fork?

??????

Is this really a thing? I'm Canadian and have never heard of this "American style" cutlery usage before. I've been to the U.S. a lot, lived there for a year even, and this is news to me.

I hold the fork in my dominant hand and proceed with continental style.

Everyone in America does. OP is a faggot.

I got tired of switching hands so I learned to cut with my left hand.
same with masturbation, gotta navigate with my right hand.

>left handed
Typical euro scum

I use american style when i need to eat things too hard to use a fork on normally or am using a shitty fork. It's just more controlled since i want to be certain i won't accidentally slip the food off the plate due to my non dominant hand not being as nimple.

>deliciousness per second
Never gets old

I go American style but I end up cutting my food in batches after the first bite or two and making sure its alright if I'm out eating somewhere, plus it's alright if I'm switching hands as the first minute or two of eating is when the pre-meal conversation is still winding down.

Eating with your fork in your left hand akin to satanism though and you should be removed from the premises immediately for being a heretic/Eurocuck

I'm 4th generation Canadian and eat Continental style. My mom is 3rd generation Canadian and eats American style.

I was never taught one way or another; it's just the most logical way to get food in my mouth. Fewest moving parts.

>tfw my grandfather was a brit and i had to teach my country gf how to eat like a civilized human

Fun fact: American style is actually a fossilized holdover from what was done by the upperclassed in Europe in the 18th century. Basically American dining culture was obsessed with immitating europe and never evolved even after Europe abandoned it for the more efficient modern continental style. Similar situation to their circumcision practices.

does anyone have what I call "utensil priority" ?

for me, spoon>fork>knife, and whatever has higher priority always goes in my dominant hand. when I cut, fork goes in dominant, and my other hand cuts with the knife. I don't switch to eat.

The only time I switch is when I pick up a higher priority utensil. If I wanted a spoon and discarded the knife, I would switch the fork over and pick up the spoon with dominant.

>he uses a """"style""""
>he needs a knife when every food worth eating can be cut with a fork

I always hold fork in the right hand and knife in the left never switching, and I'm American

Because holding it like a pencil is how you hold a fork or spoon in your dominant hand. Only sub-100 IQ barbarians do the four finger grip.

this shit is fucking gay, I hold the fork with the right hand, the knife with the left and eat like a normal person without doing faggot shit

>eating like a child
I bet you grab the fork with your whole fist too

If your food isn't tender enough to not need a knife you did it wrong. Should be able to use the based side fork cut

>ITT: Canadians shitpost as that is all they are capable of doing
ftfy

>jelly of american maximum dps
>american method is slower than european
What did he mean by this?

I live alone and I eat almost all of my meals right out of the pot with a big wooden spoon

Putting an inverted fork into your mouth immediately after cutting is worse than smacking your disgusting lips as you chew. You people are sick.

Miss Manners suggests that as the American method is less efficient, it is therefore fancier than the European method.

Who the fuck does top?

I knew a chick who insisted that she use only an overhand fist to hold her utensils. I realized later it was probably a way to garner sympathy, as if she didn't have the manual dexterity, or privileged upbringing to properly hold them. I'm sure she wants to be disabled for the neet bux and the oppression points.

She is a trans-tranny (a woman stuck in a man's body stuck in a woman's body)

I have never seen anyone eat "american style' in the States.

This thread made me feel bad about myself

I have never seen anyone actually use American style except in etiquette training materials. Pretty much everyone uses Continental style, except we're much more willing to turn the fork tines up for certain bites (without switching hands).

I never cut at the table. All my cutting is done in the kitchen with my one knife.

get a man who can do both ;-)

i'm right handed, but cut with my left and fork in the right

get on my level you fucking LOSERS

Kek

>eating anywhere but in the safety of your underground bunker while watching CCTV cameras stationed around your fenced in property
RIP user

>fancy
Is there a more reliable plebeian filter than this word?

>I end up cutting my food in batches
Might as well have your mommy do it.

are you an old italian lady

>be American
>eat with fingers
Just like the cross bred, nigger chimps that spawned you all.

American food is loaded with sauce and cheese and shit so if you don't lean over that stuff will get on your clothes and the tables

*she

The point is that it's not really more 'sophisticated' in any real sense, it's just more elaborate for the sake of doing a simple task in more steps.

who here reverse-continental

having the fork in the left hand just feels odd

The only proper way is to use telekinesis to levitate food to your mouth, eliminating need for arms. Talking is done without interrupting the chewing or swallowing.

>maximum DPS
Psssht. You are still nothing compared to the asian shove'n'go.

>not holding it up to his mouth
8/10 efficiency

Burger reporting.
I was raised to use continental style table manners, but my mother was an etiquette specialist, and taught etiquette to little rich children. Which brings me to my second point, which is that continental style is used mainly by "old money" families, old upper middle class families, and/or people who have special interest in using proper etiquette.

Using a fork with the tines facing up is vulgar, because it not only implies shoveling and scooping, but also hostility. Throughout past history, forks wouldn't even have been used at the table in most of Europe, until the Medicis brought forks to the French Court. And even then, using a fork with the tines up was considered aggressive. Also, switching your knife back and forth creates needless noise and distraction at the table.

Why would the fork have a higher priority over the utensil specifically used for cutting when you're cutting food?

I hold the fork with my dominant hand and the knife in the other. Am I retarded?

>not using the Food Tube

>cut up whole steak into bite sized pieces in one go
>put down fork and never have to use it again for the rest of the meal

bachelor life mang. nothing better than saving yourself from washing more dirty dishes

>Not just jamming fork into piece of meat and turning it into a meatsicle.

that is basically how all asian dishes are prepared, idiot.

>weebfood is prepared in a way most suitable for manchildren

Wow really?

Are Americans really this retarded?

Haven't read the rest of the thread but I have never once seen someone use the "american style" in America

Literally everyone I know uses a fork and knife in a way that they dont have to SWITCH HANDS because that comes naturally

>switching hands

Why? You can use either hand to cut with.

Just curious, but what about food size and uniformity triggers your childhood memories like this? I never had my parents cut up food for me when I was a child. I find that idea a bit odd.

There is no possible way your parents just gave you whole vegetables and fruits as a toddler to munch through

>tfw holding fork in an ice-pick grip

Chopsticks are the most unnecessary eating utensil there is

>unnecessary
they are literally just two sticks

>being a ridiculous contrarian just to be "special"

Yeah, you're special alright. Special Ed.
Stop being trailer trash.

Yeah and using them is pointless when a fork gets the job done far easier and doesn't restrict your cooking to tiny little bite sized pieces

Don't even get me started on eating rice with chopsticks

>contrarian
>not using utensils that don't originate from my homeland and that nobody but weebs and first generation asians who refuse to admit the superiority of silverware uses here

>Ambidextrous
>No hand to hold knife because both contain forks

Wow.
That's one of the most ignorant posts I've seen here on this topic. You were literally raised in a barn in the middle of fucking nowhere, weren't you?

Why would I ever use chopsticks if I wasn't raised in east Asia

chopsticks are incredibly superior for any sort of pasta then a fork is tbqh

Daily reminder: Forks were not in widespread use in 'murrica until the end of the 19th century. The filthy lice ridden amerilards were eating with their hands, whereas even the lowliest peasant in Japan had been eating with chopsticks for 1000's of years by 1890. No wonder they still wear street shoes caked with feces, urine, vomit and blood inside their homes.

Okay buddy

How has this changed since Brits are no longer allowed to own butter knives? Will they adapt and start preparing food in bite sizes like Japan. Eggs and baccy sushi?

So what is it called when you keep the knife in the offhand and keep the fork in the dominate hand?
