Also why do crackers love eating with their hands so much?
Edit: There are some whites in the comments that really like Chilis and Applebees.
Except the Germans, who are mocked for eating Pizza with utensils (which they do)
I felt so weird eating like a normal person in Germany. I forget what it was…I think maybe we got hamburgers or something while over there. People really do eat that with a fork and knife like their hands are gonna fall off if they touch the food.
It depends on the context. Nobody is eating their burger with utensils at McDonalds or whatever, but when it’s “classier”, most Germans will use utensils even though it’s horribly impractical and defeats the whole point of having a burger in the first place. It’s even worse with pizza.
Döner and falaffel are somehow completely exempt from this, but Germans have a deep-seated fear that these will burst open on the underside and splatter zaziki all over their pants. Our sexual pathologies run deep.
At least you’re not the Swiss, who have their best scientists trying to work out how to eat food entirely with utensils, never touching the mouth.
Fun fact: I was looking up the history of forks awhile back and the church said it was sacrilege to use them initially because you had God given forks already (fingers). Great stuff
