From Method Mastery at Epicurious.
At a table set with gleaming pride,
Each piece of cutlery has a role to guide.
The knife, the fork, the spoon aligned,
They speak a language, refined and kind.
To know their use is more than skill—
It’s respect for the meal, the art, the thrill.
A well-timed gesture, a polished grace,
Ensures your table’s a sacred space.
Without confusion, each tool flows right,
Making dining a pleasure, pure delight.
In life’s grand banquet, we must be wise,
To wield each utensil with careful eyes.
A fork to pierce, a knife to slice,
A spoon to scoop, each choice precise.
To fumble and guess is to miss the cue,
A subtle misstep that others may view.
But mastery shows both care and respect,
For food, for manners, in perfect effect.
In learning this art, we find the key—
To dine with grace, and live freely.
