I'm American and I've never done cut-and-switch. Since I was a kid, I've always knifed with my left and forked with my right. Never understood why people feel the need to cut meat with their right hand. So weird to me.
- fishtoaster 13y agoPresumably because cutting meat takes more strength and/or control than simply holding the meat still. It seem reasonable to relegate the latter to your non-dominant hand.
- peeters 13y agoI find getting the fork into my mouth to require much finer motor skills than the simple sawing motion required for cutting. I'm with GP. I just keep the fork in the right hand and cut with the left. As a kid, I was a cut-and-switcher, so maybe cutting with the right was more natural, but it definitely didn't seem hard to make the switch.
