Good point. I think …
Good point. I think the term ‘European’ might be generalising a bit, but the ‘European’ style shown in this video is how we do it in the UK. I’m not sure about the rest of Europe, though, so perhaps Sweden is an exception.

And while it may be nice to know what is considered polite, and in different cultures, it is not “important”.

Stay in low society? What are you babbling about? Seriously, it’s the way you eat. Do you care about the way I take a crap? I didn’t think so.

I was never taught a specific way of eating, but apparently I dine European. Why would you go through the trouble of switching hands every time?
