I always have the fork in my right hand. I use the knife with my left, even for cutting meat (where the fuck does that rule come from?). I put the knife down when I'm not using it. Also, I've found that many things of a toughness up to that of chicken can be cut with the side of the fork, so (barbarian that I am) unless I'm eating steak or something I may not need a knife at all. Whenever I eat something with rice I always use a knife to get stuff onto the fork and keep it from spilling. I eat muffins and apples with my hands (pumpkin and granny smith, btw). I eat pizza with my hands. If other people are around I'll eat hot wings with a knife and fork, if not I simply stick them in my mouth whole and spit out the gristle and bone (joking, I use my hands when alone).
