THE ART OF DINING
The cutlery is laid starting from the outside and working in. The knife is on the right with the cutting edge facing towards the plate, the fork is on the left the spoon is placed on the outside right, or above the plate. The bowl of the spoon and the prongs of the fork face upwards. In aristocratic circles it is usual for fork and spoon to face downwards (à la Russe) so that the coat-of-arms on the back is visible. 1 Bread plate/side plate / 2 Bread knife / 3 Side fork / 4 Table fork / 5 Dinner plate / 6 Table knife / 7 Soup spoon / 8 Side knife / 9 Dessert spoon / 10 Dessert fork / 11 Red wine glass / 12 Water glass / 13 White wine glass » A Piece of the Quality of Life » Knife, Fork, Spoon » Viennese Diversity » A Feast for the Eyes » The Well-Laid Table Illustration: Perndl+Co, Tina Lehnhardt |
