HEEE. I had to ring a couple of people and ask them if they swap hands after cutting, because I feel like I am not a good yardstick what with being (mostly) right-handed and eating left-handed!

Australians (well, at least all the ones I know) keep their forks in the same hand after cutting - we don't switch to our dominant hand.

Can I just say that I find it REALLY WEIRD you guys cut your food then switch your fork over?! I didn't know you guys did this! o.O

I totally eat like a Brit (and an Aussie, apparently *g*) now, though I probably used to eat like an American. A lot of the Americans I know actually cut everything first, to save swapping and swapping and swapping. It is a huge waste of time and is quite odd. I don't know why it evolved that way!
