What side is your butter plate at dinner?

Well, I can probably look this up somewhere, but which side is *my* butter plate on in the dining room? I would sit down at a big table, the plates are close, and it wasn't clear which was my butter plate. My husband and I had differing opinions.

On the left. An easy way to remember is think BMW: bread, meal, water -- left to right.

That is correct. Bread plate o the left.

Like the BMW!

Touch your fore finger to your thumb, and extend your middle finger. Your right hand will make a "d" for drink, and your left will make a "b" for bread.

I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks. I was totally ignorant to that fact

I realize that this was posted a while ago, but I sincerely thank you.

One of my favorite tricks! I learned this at Girl Scout camp!

And, when you start to hold you hands up over your plate making 'b' and 'd' with your hands there is a very good chance you will soon have the table to yourself. :D

True.

Too funny.
