BMW. Even at this date, I have trouble remembering at a big dinner which bread plate is mine. Someone gave me a pointer that might help you if you suffer from this variation of WFD ("wrong fork disease").

The solution is "BMW". B for bread - on the left. M for meal - in the middle. W for water - on the right.

You sit down. You go BMW. You drop the roll on the bread plate on your left, unless the guy next to you already appropriated it.
