Only A Truly Refined Person Could Score 8/10 On This Dining Etiquette Quiz

You always start with cutlery from the outside in!

We'll start off with an easy one: Which fork should you use to eat your appetizer?

Yep! Right hand!

European style etiquette won't have you switching hands — you can cut with your right and eat with your left.

It depends on where you are and what you're eating. In America, it's very typical to cut with your right hand, and then switch to eat with a fork from that same right hand.

And which hand should you use for your fork after you're done cutting something?

This is the correct position that cutlery should be in when you're done; both are parallel and pointing anywhere between 11 and 12 o' clock.

What's the correct way to place the cutlery on your plate when you're done eating?

When you eat with a fork, the prongs should point upwards They should only be pointing down when cutting meat.

When you're eating with a fork, the tines should point...

Spoons and knives on the right, forks on the left.

What's important is NOT putting dirty cutlery on the table, or waving your hands while holding them and having a conversation.

The first one on the left is the American style for taking a break, and the one on the right is the continental style for a break. Both ways are acceptable.

If you're getting up to go to the restroom, which position should you definitely NOT leave your cutlery?

Table manners require that you wait for the server to get you a new piece of cutlery. You should not pick it up from the ground.

What should you do if you're at a restaurant and you drop your fork?

You should only cut foods all at once for kids. Adults are expected cut an individual piece for every bite they take.

How should you cut up this steak?

Fish knives have a blunt blade that can also be used to open or peel shellfish.

And finally, which of these is a fish knife?

This doesn't mean you're a rude person — just someone who probably doesn't have the need (or desire) to attend formal dining events. But you did get the first one right...right?

So, table manners aren't your thing.

Let's just say that if there's an emergency gala any time soon, you wouldn't do too badly at the dinner table. We'll cheers to that!

You know enough to survive.

You're either fancy AF or just have a beautiful knack for dining etiquette. Either way, it's a skill that will ~serve you~ well in life (heh sorry).

Congratulations! You're basically ready to dine with the Queen of England.
