Pizza SHOULD be eaten with chopsticks Jeff. Smh.

I've always eaten pizza with a knife and fork. Civilized people use cutlery (or chopsticks, if appropriate). The number of people I saw in the US with utterly deplorable table manners was disgusting. I've seen better manners at the chimp's tea party!

Hot dogs? Hamburgers? Anyway, my point is that this got space in the New York Times, network news, and other media outlets.

Pretty fuckin' sad that this is all they got to report? Like... there isn't anything else going on in the world? Now I know why I haven't looked at a snoozepaper for the last 30+ years. [:D]

Christie and bridgegate wasnt enough? I want to know why anyone thought this was news worthy? If it gets people's attention, it's deemed newsworthy. I often wonder why they spend so much time on celebrity and entertainment news. A newly elected mayor might also have a certain celebrity status, still in the honeymoon stage. That's what this is. This is just a way of saying how much they love their new mayor, so much so that the only thing "wrong" with him is that he eats pizza with a fork. Isn't that just so special?

Look, pizza, hamburgers, hotdogs, ribs, corn on the cob, are all finger foods.

Even chips (fries to you): fork. That's why a lot of Americans have awful table manners - most eat food as if it were finger food. Apart from sarnies (and not the Danish 'open' variety), I can't think of anything much that qualifies as finger food.

In some ways, I can see it if you're in a place wearing a nice suit and don't want to get messy. Sometimes, these foods can be a bit messy if eaten by hand, so using utensils might be practical on certain occasions. On the other hand, Carl's Jr. uses it as a selling point, claiming that it's not a good burger unless it gets you all messy. Pizza can be kind of messy, too. If you're not holding it right, you could slip and have goop all over your pants or shirt. It looked like there were a lot of toppings on that pizza, too.

Suit or no suit, if it's messy, you use the proper utensils - that's what they were invented for. You don't eat soup with a cupped hand do you? No, you use a spoon. Mankind invented various tools to make the job cleaner and easier. If ya wanna be an ape and use your hands, be my guest. But don't ask to eat at my table!

The proper way to eat pizza in New York City is to fold the slice in half lengthwise, and eat from the tip back to the crust.

It is an old italian sentence "can't you eat like all the christians?" when you scold someone for his table manners, it comes from the habit of considering two kind of living creatures: christians and beasts.

The 'proper' way to eat pizza - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6CcAjoxx-U You don't have to immitate your ancestors. Even the Americans can learn how to eat properly!

The PROPER way to eat pizza is... ...wait for it... However the fuck you want to!
