NFT: Eating pizza with a knife and fork...

Ten Ton Hammer : 7/23/2014 4:22 pm


The mayor, on family vacation in his motherland, enjoyed a pizza in Naples today, making a point by consuming it with utensils."I will continue to express my own culture in my own way and when I get a pizza like that, I'm going to eat with a knife and fork," he said defensively after he was caught using a fork and knife, the preferred method of Sarah Palin and Donald Trump, in Staten Island in January. He said he picked up the habit in his "ancestral homeland."

I can't believe people do this.

When you don't live in NY or Chicago sometimes those are the only choices that are worthy.

Trust me on this one.
In Naples...  
Aquasax : 7/23/2014 4:43 pm : link
you don't really have a choice. Pizza is not sliced, and they are way to thin to cut into slices and pick up. So as the saying goes, "When in Rome (or Naples as the case may be) do as the Romans." Yes - there you should eat it with a knife and fork. It's really the only effective way.

Here, where our pizzas are a little thicker (even our thin crust) and come sliced, you should eat it with your friggin' hands.

Pizza Eating Rules  
Trainmaster : 7/23/2014 6:06 pm : link
... according to me:

1) NY style (and quality) thin crust pizza has to be eaten with your hands.

2) Sicilian style (and quality) pizza also has to be eaten with your hands.

3) Chicago style "pizza" (not really pizza, but I've had some that does taste good) can be eaten with a knife and fork as it isn't really pizza.

4) Franchise pizza (Papa John's, Dominos, Pizza Hut etc.) should never really be eaten, but if one is forced to consume it, the method doesn't matter as it really isn't pizza.
How about a spork, is that OK?  
steve in ky : 7/23/2014 6:12 pm : link
Seriously it looks ridiculous but someone did make a good point about some people might have dentures. Really any elderly person can eat the way they are most comfortable, that is only respectful but everyone else should pick up the slice and eat it.

Matt M. : 7/23/2014 6:45 pm : link
They don't really use a knife and fork to eat pizza in Italy. In Naples, they don't cut the pizza, so it is served with a knife and fork. But, the accepted method of eating it is to slice it in quarters and then to wait until it cools enough to pick it up. They also don't overload their pies with toppings, so it is easy to pick up and fold.

Cinnamon raisin bagels are bad, without a doubt, but they're nowhere near the unspeakable horror of a hot dog with ketchup. At that point, you might as well start eating pasta with ketchup in lieu of marinara sauce while you're at it. Or fuck it, why even bother boiling pasta when you can just break open a can of Chef Boy-ar-dee.
People really care if he used a knife and fork?  
Matt M. : 7/24/2014 10:11 am : link
No matter where you are, you can find at least someone who eats pizza with a knife and fork...even Italy. So, who gives a crap.

As for the other stuff, it's funny. When I was a kid, I put ketchup on a hot dog and loved a toasted cinnamon raisin bagel. Now, I cringe at both.

On the contrary, my friend, I love America. But I love my cinnamon raisin bagels just as much. And I thought putting ketchup & mustard on hot dogs was normal until I saw you weirdos say otherwise.
