Unofficial Etiquette Pollage

After hearing a discussion on the radio about table manners and cultural/national ways of eating, I got curious and decided to ask you guys about it. According to the program, there is more than one way people in Western countries use a knife while eating. I did not know this, which shows just how much I don't know about culture.

So anyway, a poll:

I don't know, really? I think most people here eat the same way as me. It's more the Americans who switch hands. From what I've seen. But it's a strange thing so who knows?

I think it's strange that I've never noticed it before. And I've eaten with people from all over the world, go figure. I'm obtuse, obviously. ;)
