If you have a little bitty fork resting at a diagonal in the bowl of your soup spoon on the right side of your place setting, it is not for your baby carrots or your baby squash. It means the first course will be a seafood course, such as oysters, shrimp or crab.

If the little fork has two prongs, instead of three, the seafood course will be escargot (snails).
