  36. @Hahahahaaahaahaa

    August 13, 2024 at 11:11 am

    I assume he’s doing this because he can’t get actual gigs, but this is wrong. The tines should always be pointed DOWN for peas, if for some insane reason you are at “fine dining” with a plate of peas and no mash, you can use the knife, but everything in this video is wrong.

    TBC it’s ALL insane and every etiquette book should be burned, but if you are going to preach at least read the bible.

  58. @LysisAG

    In truly formal dining, peas are always served with mash. So it becomes rather easy.

    Is it common to hold your fork like that? I use a grip similar to the jazz grip for drummers holding drumsticks.

  79. @briansorensen1104

    August 16, 2024 at 8:49 am

    Why is he holding the fork like a shovel? Very uncouth. He held it correctly with the right hand but not the left. That could explain the balance problem.

  80. @adamyasingh3713

    For someone who is supposed to be an “etiquette expert”, he is holding his fork and knife completely wrong when using that specific fork and knife method. They need to held off the fingertips with a flat sueface, not with a tilt
