Formal Place Setting
The way forks, knives, spoons, glasses, and cups are placed on the table is called a “table
setting”.
The one shown here is a “formal” place setting. We naturally don’t use all of this each day
at home, however, it shows us where each piece is placed, whether we have eight pieces of
silver or three.
We use the silver from the outside in. For example, the soup spoon on the right would be
used before the teaspoon, because soup is served first.
