American eating is funny.They eat almost everything with a fork.And it appears that holding a knife in one's right hand longer than a few seconds is considered to be against good table manners.
The system is that if it is very necessary to use a knife,people take the fork in their left hand,and cut off a piece of meat or whatever it is in the normal manners.Then they put the knife down,take the fork eith their right hand,and only then do they transport the food to their mouth.This is funny,but it is considered good manners.
there are several results of this system.first if it is not very necessary to use a knife,Americans use one,because they think using a knife is more difficult than using a fork,and so you will see them tring bacon with a fork.
second,towards the end of a course,since only the fork is being used,food has to be chased around the plate with the fork--and for the last piece of food the fingers have to be used to keep the food in place,although one is not supposed to do this.
third,there are generally one knife and two forks on the table,and the outside fork is for the salsd.there is no need for foreign visitors to follow the American system and try to eat the salad with only a fork,but if you do use your knife,remember to save it for the meat course.Even desserts(excert ice cream)are eaten with a fork if at all possible,and the spoon you see by your dessert is meant to be for coffee,but if you use it for your dessert no one will say anything.
