Watching something like MasterChef on the Beeb (via streaming) certainly shows how the food critics over there gather all the ingredients on the dish using knife & fork - makes sense w/ such dishes, b/c flavor might be too bland if you only eat the meat, for example. You don't see that as a lot w/ people tasting American dishes.
it's used all across Europe, not just the Brits
