I swear I looked like a bum when I grabbed a slice of pizza with my hands because everyone was using a knife and fork, one of my worst moments
Rich people don’t care how you eat your pizza. Stuck up people do, but you get plenty of those without money.
And I don’t care if dead rich people’s family are sad; there’s still a right way to eat a pizza and it doesn’t involve a goddamn fork.
Don’t tell me how to eat my food. Im not making demands of you.
The trick is to not care, and to confidently do it like it was the most natural thing in the world, and it clearly was.
The world of the wealthy runs on appearances. The worst thing you can do there is to be ashamed. Arguably better is to look at them with confident disdain for using a knife and fork to eat a pizza, in much the same way that they might for someone using a soup spoon for dessert.
For the pizza, it’s arguably more regional than wealth related. In a few countries, like parts of Italy and Sweden, it’s more common to eat pizza using cutlery rather than using your hands.
Whereas for other places, like other parts of Italy, it may be more common to use your hands for it instead. It very much depends on where, and the local culture more than anything else. But using your hands is as valid as using a knife and fork.
I don’t know if all do, but the few French people I had pizza with, all of them used knife and fork.
In a nice Italian restaurant in Berlin, all the people I saw used knife and fork, I did too not to fit but those pizzas had a crazy thin base and a lot of sauce and things on top, trying to pick a slice with the hand would end very badly, so maybe in other places the people would have used the hand.
Why worry about the opinions of people who eat pizza with a fork‽
If you see people eating pizza with a fork you mock them. I didn’t care if its your best friend, mother, or the goddamn Pope. Although the current Pope is from Chicago so he knows better than to eat pizza with a fork like some kind of filthy degenerate.

They have that knife & fork deep dish out there, don’t they?
Not if you eat it correctly.
You do not need to impress the clods who eat pizza with flatware. These people would eat a sandwich with flatware if someone “more important” did it.
Reminds me of some show or movie I watched when at a wine tasting, some guy started listening to the wine with his ear and everybody copied him
I think it’s just this meme you’re remembering
I swear it was a tv show. I shall investigate and get back
IDK, be poor probably. And I bet they hate it if you talk about seizing the means of production and eating the rich.
When you’re sufficiently rich, you don’t even have to care about what the regular rich people think.
You can probably adopt the habit even before you manage to reach that level of wealth
Knife and fork for pizza?! Did they not wash their hands or something? That sounds like something only the insane would do
IMO, it depends on how bendy the pizza is, how big the crust (i.e. handle) is and wether it’s a sit-down restaurant or not. I’ve had some pizzas that tasted great, but would have been really messy to eat with my hands.
pizza is usually a finger food, unless it’s something like a chicago deep dish.
I’m talking about very flat pizza made by Italians who immigrated post WW2 and probably visit Italy almost every year, because that’s actually really easy to do when you’re in Europe.
Some pizza is just very bendy, it’s fingerfood the same way that tortelloni are finger food - you could, but it’s just more practical to use cutlery.
If they’re crazy, it’s even worse if they’re family members.
Don’t worry about it. Anyone that eats pizza with a knife and fork is a fucking idiot.
Some people hate getting dirty hands, they just don’t like the feeling of it. Just eat pizza as you please.
Yeah should just grab it with your mouth, don’t use your hands
bro ._.
Zerosophisto. . . Sophistication robs the world of culture. There is no “supposed to be like” in an adult world where you are not harming others with the choices you make. There is (and should not be) just one way to “be”. Some rich people feel like they have it all figured out because they have money. Money does not equal happiness. Do what makes you happy and move through the world with grace.
Don’t be embarrassed or insecure. They probably envy you, getting to dig in with your hands.
you should probably not hock-up a nice big loogie, then swish it around your mouth for a minute like you’re at a fine wine tasting event, then swallow it in one big, noisy GULP.
Act like they’re your superiors. They bleed and die just like poor people
People who still live in caves, they eat with their bare hands.
(and Us americans, of course)
