I learned "American" table manners as a child, but then only started eating in formal settings once I was living in Germany. Clearly, the American way is just wrong wrong wrong(!!!), but is there a difference between the UK and Europe?
FWIW, I almost never serve individual desserts at a dinner party. I know I don't care for sweets, so I think that everyone should get their choice of cheese, sweets and of course a good serve of port rather than being told what to have as a last course. You may choose your own adventure, as well as utensil!
