Because this is mainly an American board, here's an FYI for dining etiquette in Australia and England.

See this:

Knife and fork side by side at 6 O'Clock. It's the sign for "my meal is finished, please take this plate away."

It's NOT the sign for "I'm not REALLY finished dinner; I think I'll leave this little scrap of bread here on the plate so I can eat it 10 minutes after the rest of my meal for no good reason."

I'm a waiter, not a mindreader. You want a mindreader, go to the circus.
