I've always wondered about your butter knife, forks and spoons. Like how many should you have beside your plate?

It depends on the number of courses and the nature of the food you are offering.
P.S. I note that you didn't mention finger bowls.

What is the correct (verbal) reponse to make on one of those ever-decreasing occasions when somebody says "thank you" to you?

Finger bowls? Don't they have them when they serve you lobster or crab or anything that requires you to use your fingers eloquently?

Then there's what do you say before a meal. The French have Bon appetit, the Germans have Guten Appetit - but what should English speakers say?
