Where do we stand on licking the knife?
licking the knife is completely standard. as is licking the plate/anything with remnants of the food on it. it's not rude. it's EV maximisation.
edit: not to mention showing your respects to whoever prepared the food
lol licking the knife
yeah so I tried to eat like this the other day and failed miserably /notballa
Knife in right, fork in offhand left, cut the meat completely, then put down the knife, fork back to right hand and eat away. If it isn't too formal I do it like this.
The meat is too tasty to wait while I cut further. You may as well be chewing while you're cutting
Amongst all the other reasons discussed above, this is a massive security issue. It's a lot easier to protect one large piece of meat with a fork AND knife in your hands than many small pieces of meat with just a fork. I mean, two well timed attacks from opposing flanks and you're suffering many meat nibble casualties.
