What's the difference between a big fork and a small fork in western food?

When eating western food, generally speaking, two forks will be placed when setting the main table. The difference between the two is that the purpose and the dishes used are different. The big fork is the main fork and the small fork is the salad fork.

1: Salad fork, also known as dessert fork and cold dish fork, is specially used for eating salad and some cold dishes. Of course, when you eat dessert, the waiter will replace the same fork for you, so it is also called dessert fork.

2. The main fork is used for eating main dishes, such as steak and foie gras.

The order of use of the two is from the outside to the inside, that is, from an early age, the salad should be served first, and the salad should be small; Then the soup, the waiter will give you a spoonful; Some are served directly, then the main course, with a slightly larger fork, and finally the dessert.
