To the left, to left!!

Answer 5

Easy to remember:  since most of us are right handed and it is easier to pick up a glass with a steady and strong hand, glasses go on the right.

Since solids require less to dexterity, they go on the left.

This also explains why knives and spoons are on the right and forks on the left.

Answer 8

left. You place the utensils in the order they will be used, starting on the outside. the shrimp or h'ordeurve fork is on the outside left, then the salad fork, then the dinner fork, then your plate, then your dinner knife, then your butter knife. Top of your plate will have your desert spoon and above that the coffee or tea spoon. Salad plate goes on top of dinner plate, soup bowl goes on top of salad plate. Bread plate goes to the left of the forks and your glasses start from left ,first with the water glass on the top left (at 11 o'clock, and coffee cup above the spoons and the wine glassed to the right, starting with champagne, then wine and then sherry.
