Question on silverware etiquette?
Silverware -Silverware should be placed on the table in the order it will be used; silverware that will be used first should be found on the farthest left and right sides of the plate. -Forks are placed to the left of the dinner plate; knives and spoons go to the right. -Knives should be placed with their cutting-edge toward the dinner plate, except the butter knife which should be laid flat on a bread plate. -Utensils should be about 1/2-inch away from the plate or each other, and they should also be lined up evenly from their bottoms. -Avoid placing more silverware than the meal calls for. -Dessert silverware can be originally placed at the table setting if you wish. The dessert fork or spoon should be centered above and parallel to the dinner plate. -If you will be serving dishes that require specialty silverware, be sure to arrange the silverware on either side of the plate according to the order in which they will be eaten.
