Were you always left handed?

Why do you think I'm left-handed? I'm not, LOL!

Irene said...

Your utensils are on the left hand side of your plate and cup and saucer. That's why.

Oh, that's the way I set my table, fork on the left, spoon on the right of the plate, not outside the saucer. Must be the American style.

Yes, we put fork on the left and knife on the right and spoon on the top, but if it is the coffee spoon, we put it to the right of the coffee. You never eat with a knife and a fork. You just cut it with your fork, don't you?

My eggs aren't tough enough for a knife!

I know, it all has to do with etiquette etc. It is silly. In the Netherlands, the proper way to eat your open faced sandwich is with a knife and fork. You must never forget that when visiting someone for lunch. Unless you visit me.
