Table Manners?

Today in the Style section of The Washington Post, a reader wrote in to "Ask Amy", an advice columnist. This reader complained that he was so disgusted with American table manners because after cutting their food, Americans switch their forks from the left hand to the right in order to then lift the fork to their mouth and insert the bite. He mentioned having to turn his chair in a restaurant to avoid seeing this. Is it really that disgusting?

I'm glad Amy shot him down.

Are European table manners better? I've never really thought about it.

I'll try and post the link when the article comes online.
