It has been interesting and rather amusing reading the comments going back
and forth on how people use the fork and knife in different countries.
I have been in Canada for 8 years after living in the Gulf for 20 years. In
all my time here I have never seen any Canadians use the English way of
eating i.e. knife in the right hand and fork in teh left hand. I admit
though that the new English immigrants still follow the traditions of their
ancestors. In Canada, people follow the American way of eating, i.e. fork
in the right hand and switching it to the left when using the knife. How
Goans, in Canada, use these utensils (Canadian word for cutlery) is of
course up to their discretion.
>From what I can conclude, after living here for many years, is that
Canadians and Americans do not accept most of the British traditions.
Just my two cents.
