Thailand first developed the four tine fork. Interestingly, they use a fork to place food onto a spoon and the spoon is then used to carry the food to the mouth.

On a properly-set table, the correct fork will always be the one on the outside. Each used fork is left on the plate and taken by the waiter. The next fork on the outside is the one you need for the next course.

Why do Americans only eat with a Fork in their right Hand, because they don't have the good Manners to eat properly.
