I got into a long conversation about silverware while I was in Portugal last week. When you were growing up, did you learn the way to set your silverware on the plate to indicate that you were done or indicate that you were still eating?

Huh. I did not know anything about handles at a certain clock position, but I do "top of utensils on plate if you're still eating" and "utensils set across the plate if you're done". The first so you don't get the table dirty, and you only put the utensils across the plate if you're done because why would you put the handles of the utensils in your food?
