Recipe: Fine Dining Cutlery Code

Step 4: The End Game – Koniec posiłku 🍽️

When you’ve finished and want your plate cleared, place the knife and fork parallel at an angle, pointing towards 4 o’clock and 10 o’clock (like clock hands). This silent code tells the staff:

“Thank you, I’m done. You may clear the battlefield.”

🍷 Serving Suggestions:

• Best served with good company and laughter.
• Pairs excellently with attentive waitstaff who understand cutlery cues.
• For dessert, repeat steps with added flair (perhaps even a dramatic napkin fold).

💡 Pro Tip:

Never slam your utensils or leave them wildly sprawled—remember, you’re not fencing, you’re feasting.

Bon appétit! 🥂
