- This burger is pretty big and messy. Maybe you could eat it with a fork and knife.
- No way, who does that?
- Swedish Northlanders.
- Well, they shouldn't. That makes no sense.

@Elena ``of Valhalla'' Swedish people eat pizza with knife and fork and I am not ashamed to do it on the regular.

You're Italian, no? Don't you usually get your pizza in one piece rather than pre-sliced and bite-sized?

yes, it's usually in one piece (if eaten at a pizza restaurant), but you usually cut it with knife and for in slices and then fold the slices and eat them with your hands.

What I was eating yesterday was baker's pizza however (significantly thicker, also in one piece, something like 20 cm Γ— 10 cm or so, and it's street food, so you're really expected to eat it with your hands).

Unless you're being very posh.

(or unless it's full of vegetables that are falling everywhere :D )

Of course you eat pizza with knife and fork. Now of course, Swedish pizzas are often soft, doughey and crap, so you wouldn't be able to eat them with you hands even if you wanted to.

Burgers with utensils just make sense, when it's those massive ones at restaurants where there is so much stuff on it that they don't even put the top bread on because it's just fall off.

Then there was that guy on Seinfeld eating a Snickers bar with knife and fork: youtu.be/SiTXriHRLXg?t=51

When I lived in Kalmar in 1996-1997, I went to McDonald's and see a whole room of people eating Big Macs with a knife and fork. Sibylla was the "real" Swedish burger and weirdly, people eat that with hands.

I caused great consternation at a picnic at Kalmar Folkets Park by eating fried chicken with my hands.

At least I had the anthropological skill to detect to tear apart and dunk my Semla and not eat it like a hamburger, in which case the white filling will explode into your face.

basically :D

which is something that is often recommended (inside trekking shoes or the like, rather than around the house :) ), so there is nothing strange, right? :D

The romans up north also wore trousers, that's a barbarian abomination, not proper roman and italian fashion :D

(also, a pretty sensible adaptation to the local climate, but we don't talk about that while discussing fashion and the morality of clothing, right? :D )
