But you savor the meal more if you take your time! [Linked Image]

Hutch mentioned keeping the fork in the left hand all the time (assuming a right-handed person), but the other quirky habit that even as a Brit I can never understand is trying to pile food on a fork that's upside down!

Many Brits will hold the fork (in their left hand) with the convex surface uppermost. They stab a piece of meat on the end of the fork, and then still keeping it upside down use the knife to pile potato, bits of vegetable, and anything else from the plate on top. There then comes a kind of balancing act to transfer this volcano-shaped load from plate to mouth without spilling any!

Talk about making things difficult for yourself! [Linked Image]
