Which fork is the salad fork?

Question

Big Dinner, NEED HELP!

Answer 1

The one placed on the very outside of the setting.

Answer 2

smaller than a dinner fork or luncheon fork.
"Salad Fork and Knife
The salad fork may have a thicker tine at the left of the fork. For right handed people, which are the majority, this strengthens the fork for use in cutting large greens without having to use the salad knife. "

Answer 10

the easiest way to remember which utensil to use with which course....eat your way toward the plate . Start with the utensils that are the furthest from your plate, as you finish each course put THAT utensil on your plate at the 4 o'clock position, thereby letting the wait staff know you are finished.
