Apparently the switch-fork method is the "American" method and the other is the "Continental". I seriously never knew or noticed.
I do the switch thing (and I really had to think about this, with miming and everything), although I've probably done it the other way for reasons of haste and practicality. The Continental way does seem more efficient (which is what the Manners Lady said in the program piece).
