(5,707 posts)Last time I ate fried chicken on the bone with friends, I used a fork.
Asshole made fun of it. Nobody else cared.
But Asshole complained for thirty solid minutes afterwards about how greasy his hands were.

Seems almost equally offensive I dunno...

By Nick Carbone

According to the Donald, his comfort trumped all when he dug into his New York slice with a plastic fork.
After facing a feeding frenzy of journalists, pundits and comedians critiquing his pizza-eating habits, Donald Trump is sounding off. In a rambling retort, Trump tried to explain how digging in with fork and knife helps to keep his waistline under control.
Donald kicked off his response by explaining that he doesnt walk around with forks and knifes. A quite pertinent point, Mr. Trump we would be more than a little worried about your sanity if you did indeed keep an eating utensil in your back pocket.
A lot of people are asking why am I using plastic forks and knives that the pizza parlor gave. Well, I dont walk around with forks and knives, and frankly, it was very comfortable. Plus, this way you can take the top of the pizza off so youre not just eating the crust. I like to not eat the crust so we can keep the weight down at least as good as possible.
But Trump notes that it was ultimately all about his comfort. What could be more comforting than holding a big, sloppy New York slice of pizza in your hands? (Though the Famiglia chain he visited is hardly classic New York style.) Were sure your waistline thanks you, Mr. Trump.
And what about the burning question: Palins 2012 presidential bid? Even the Donald wasnt able to get those details.

(63,221 posts)Because he is obviously a huge, fat fuk and who really cares about his waistline at his age. Most of us just wish he would keel over from a heart attack. And if he even thinks he is appealing to women, well then I would say he is completely delusional.

(11,949 posts)But been in Italy 4 times. They eat pizza with fork and knife! As I do!
This may be the one thing I will not pile on with the Asshole!
But I make Italian style pizza on my grill maybe once a month. Cooked at 600 degrees on a stone with home made risen dough And eat it with a fork and knife like I learned in Italy!
Here I make my stand!!
Your barbs will bounce off me!

(11,949 posts)Of course I could give a shit how someone eats their pizza.
But true Italian pizza I had many times is not crusty enough to allow it to be picked up. Oh, Im sure at tourist places you can find it. But I ate with Italians at non tourists places. The dough at every place I at had a char but was magically soft, chewy with just a little crunch. There was no way you were picking it up and eating it without wearing it. I do a pretty good job of making my own.
Ive had NY style pizza made by Italian families many times here. Its good. But more of a flat bread compared to what I had in Italy.

(4,358 posts)You need to fold it to get the half-funnel so all the cheese grease runs off the top, under your hand and onto the plate.
If you eat it with a knife and fork, you are not achieving the optimum grease to pizza ratio.
GulfCoast66
(11,949 posts)Not as much grease but the liquid thrown off from the fresh cheese.
The difference is the crust. NY crust in more like a flat bread, crispy and substantial compared to what I had in Italy. If you tried the NY style eating in what I had in Italy you would be wearing it.
I hope you realize I was be sarcastic in my post. The great thing about America, culinary wise, is we brought what our forbearers had and made it our own. Im from Louisiana with Acadian heritage I dare you to name a culture that has warped their original food more! To the point the names now mean entirely different things. I ordered a fish Court Bouillon my first time in France. I expected a fish smothered in a thick tomato sauce. Imagine my surprise when I got a poached fish in stock!
Next time Im in NY I will make sure I eat Pizza. And I will fold it and eat it as is appropriate.
Sorry for carrying on so much. Food is our passion. We travel for it. It brings people together.
You have a great weekend.

(6,143 posts)and my ancestors came to this country for the freedom to eat pizza without a knife and fork as God intended. They risked their lives to escape this kind cutlery tyranny. BTW Mussolini ate pizza with a knife and fork too.

(11,949 posts)I promise. Next time Im in NY I will eat Pizza and fold it up and eat it like a proper New Yorker!
What does this Louisianan of French Ancestry know.
You have a great and safe weekend!
I do enjoy these threads that allow us to forget the politics for a little while.

(7,407 posts)I use to enjoy pizza and I ate it with knife and fork because it was steaming hot. This gave me a chance to cut it and let it cool down.
I don't really care how or what Fat Nixon eats. I care about the crimes, damage and grifting this jackass has committed against the United States.

(15,239 posts)I eat pizza with a fork sometimes too. Who cares how he eats his pizza? He was enjoying it, so good for him.
electric_blue68
(14,622 posts)...over time (decades) I realized cutting it up made me eat it slower. Instead sometimes 3 slices I'd be satisfied with 2 instead. Saved calories, and money.
Maybe it started after we had Uno's deep dish pizza arrive here. 🤔

Jeebo
(2,005 posts)It's a lot easier and faster to cut it into very small pieces that way, and because of my dental situation it's difficult for me to eat it any other way.
What's really food-offensive to me is people who eat hot dogs with KETCHUP. God, that is SO wrong. Hot dogs ought to be eaten with sauerkraut and mustard, and maybe onions. Relish or chili is OK too, but KETCHUP? Gross. Gross-squared. Gross-cubed.
