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.

The ancestral home of someone with the last name Wilhelm is probably Germany. I don't know how people in Germany eat pizza
Hopefully he stays

either it isn't pizza (sloppy pizza isn't pizza) or you are an asshole if you eat it like that.
Impeach him.

Much less offensive to me

than the millions of Americans who eat Papa Johns and Dominos. I dont really get worked up over how someone eats their pizza.

Pizza when I was in the city a few weeks ago. Outstanding!

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.

We are so worked up! Man, i'm so mad about this...

You can easily make fun of something then quickly forget about it in 2 seconds like I just did. Try it some time.

Last time I checked I live in America not Italy. They can do it the way they want, we can do it the american way, with your frickin hands.
I know people who are born and raised in Italy  
AnotherGiantsFan : 7/23/2014 5:04 pm : link
And they do not eat their pizza with forks and knives. Some people do it, but just like in America, it's the douchey toolbags that do it.

Shockeyisthebest80 : 7/23/2014 5:11 pm : link
a shit what anyone thinks about it.

(Granted the only pizza I eat is deep dish meat lovers from my local pizza place. Would I eat a regular slice with a knife and fork? Of course not.)
jeez.

I prefer pizza with it so thin that you need to eat  
eli4life : 7/23/2014 5:17 pm : link
The first half of the slice with a knife and fork. I love it so hot that if you pick it up everything slides right off. It's been years since I've had a pie like that since I've moved to Florida. Sadly here you can flip the damned thing three times and nothing moves
I eat with a knife and fork

My wife eats it with a knife and fork

Who gives a shit how someone eats pizza?

If someone prefers not getting their hands dirty then so be it... I mean a male who eats pizza w a fork and knife is a bit girly but for a female it's very common

I please. Some of you are ridiculous. Just looking for shit to bitch about all day on this site. Maybe if we scream loud enough we can make sure that nobody ever eats their pizza with a knife and fork again. Sheesh.

All bets are off when you

LOL, I'm the same way. The thinner the better.

which usually happens unless I cut it up into small pieces with a fork and knife.

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.
I was at an Italian restaurant in Germany this summer  
BurlyMan : 7/23/2014 6:37 pm : link
watching the World Cup and everyone was eating pizza and everyone was using a knife and fork.

So did you eat it with your hands or cave to the social pressure? (grin)

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.
really  
RicFlair : 7/23/2014 7:01 pm : link
why do people get bent out of shape about how other people eat something?



like the people who get all fired up about ketchup on a hot dog, steak sauce, etc.
I eat everything...  
Zepp : 7/23/2014 7:47 pm : link
with a knife and fork. Pizza, fries, burgers, sandwiches etc. I'll only eat it with my hand if there is no option. Other than that I'd rather not look like a pig with crap dripping down my face and fingers.
No problem with anyone eating pizza with a knife and fork.  
Klaatu : 7/23/2014 7:52 pm : link
But if you put ketchup on a hot dog, the terrorists win.
