    Nothing if you like barely flavoured mush.

    It offers nothing.

    There are two eras of one's life: the time before one has tried melanzane alla parmigiana, when one can view the aubergine with suspicion; and the time after one has tried it, when one knows what heights it can scale.

    Also, right hand writer and use cutlery like someone who has had some sort of upbringing.

    Right hand fork is ok if it's the only implement you have or maybe if the other implement isn't a knife (this exemption exists if you're a spoon with pasta sort of person).

    My wife's a lefty, as are half our kids (it would appear) which makes me wonder whether there should be an even split and only historical prejudice has seen the sinister folk pushed into a minority.

    To be fair it's probably cos I usually chop everything up first and then ditch the knife until the last few mouthfuls.

    Only if it's like sausages and mash, for example. I'll just chop all the sausages up at the start, then I can just eat non-stop.

    For like a roast dinner, I chop as I go. With the fork in the right the whole time.

    Steak at home = chop it all up at the start
    Steak in a restaurant = chop it as I eat

    I write write with my right hand and hold my fork with my left, because I am right handed.

    Has Jim joined a Eugenics group in lockdown or something?

    This sounds like the dexterity point stands on first principles, so lol at the conformists making their own lives difficult.

    A combination of habit and apparently not having the weak hand of a weedy gimp meaning no need to change that habit.

    That said any notion that it really matters which hand you hold it in is lol.

    I assume a feeb like you would have been in more need of a slave to make up for a useless left hand.

    My left hand is strong. It's the Left hand forkers that can't cope with the idea of cutting with their betacuck hands that you want to be looking at.

    I can use either in either because neither knives or forks are as difficult as is being made out here.

    Don't confuse the issue, we haven't fully milked the non-subject of fork hands yet.

    What a bogan.

    What about your posture? Don’t feel obligated to sit bolt-upright, but try to refrain from slouching in your seat, and certainly avoid tipping back your chair. It’s generally advised to keep your elbows off the table, although gently resting your forearms on the table is usually acceptable. If you must rest your elbows on the table, do it only between courses, when there is not a plate in front of you. When in doubt, refrain from resting either.

    Where would the napkin be at a Tory banquet?

    Well, before it ended up somewhere unspeakable.

    A Tory banquet is a bowl of Coke and a pile of Ł50 notes.

    Note in the right nostril, please.

    I don't know what happens at Tory banquets, they probably throw the food at each other and call it Mary. However in a respectable setting, napkin would be left of the fork(s), or in the middle if the plate setup allows.

    I use my right hand for the fork because it's what I've always done and see no reason to change.

    If I had to logic it I'd go along similar lines to Lewis and say that you want to use the more dextrous hand to transport the food to your mouth, but being realistic if you can't use either implement in either hand then you're a raging spacker.
