I usually eat pizza, some oversized burgers and Paniniβs with a knife and fork. I get so much hell for this π₯Ήπ

That's all kinda normal. Duchess eating her banana with a knife and fork? That was shocking.
I thought it was normal too, but once a cafe owner actually sat down opposite me to ask me why ππ€£π my family have told me off for it a lot but I donβt get why - oh nostr:npub14yf4yasnqgpkzjrzhysshglf82e8nkp8r9sn5hzqu4n244k3avtshhwpyu thatβs so cute πβΊοΈβ₯οΈπ« love that
It's neater, and less messy to do so, and since, well, you are trying to get food into your mouth and not have to pick it out of your decoletage, it's fine. Above who makes fun of you for that is just being an uncouth douchecanoe.

I love that you're so open about your mental illness.

But how are we supposed to eat those giant burgers π€―πππ€£ππ I disassemble mine π 
Just hold it with your hand and start biting from the side!
But it will all fall out π± (especially when they put those giant tomatoes, I love them but they are also my enemy) it would be a mess, and if Iβm on a date and a salad just wonβt cut it, I have to risk looking like a 5 year old with ketchup and poppy seeds on my face and hands π₯Ή tall burgers are a dangerous delicious game π€€ 
Open wider!
You grab the whole thing with your fingers on top and thumbs on bottom, near the back, and you flip it over and hold it upside down. Keeping the back held tight so the burger doesn't spill out, you lean over and take bites wherever you can. It's messy and it's worth it.
This is the way!
This is from a guy who ate his first burger when he was 16 or something. I actually didn't eat beef growing up, but my cousins did and I wasn't exactly against it. So they took me to eat my first burger while I was visiting them and it was amazing. But they took me to a really nice joint and said I was going to be spoiled and I was π
Also, to add to Jay's instructions:
Latch the bun onto your bottom teeth and leverage the rest into your mouth, then treasure the bite you take with the contrasts of flavors and textures vying for dominance if your taste buds and tactile nerves sensing the entirety of your mouth. Key nothing distract you. Breathe through your nose still smelling the goodness in your hands. There is nothing else in the world but you and your glorious mouthful of burger.
nostr:npub1jcjxjg92200kdp8guw8sysg8gr0ez29hahrfdy49h30hgnkpa4kqfvmtwx with this expert guidance, go forth and devour your next burger.
You know lads, thereβs only one way to test your techniques. Iβm gonna need to go out to eat at a burger place and order a few βΊοΈπ₯Ήπ₯ all in the name of science π―π₯π
I hope it works out π€
This could be you soon. But you know if it's not, at least you tried π«

Thanks Jay π₯Ήπ«ππ₯ππ―
My friend. I had a teacher in grade 5, who would eat her favorite chocolate bars with a knife and fork.
You are not strange.
You are refined and educated. π
Thatβs so cuuuute πβΊοΈπ she sounds lovely π₯Ή aww Iβm gonna tell people that the next time I go to dinner and they give me hell π€£ππ«π
To each her own. I know people who use a spoon with their pasta. HaHa.
Depending on the pasta, I do that.
I had the opposite experience in college. First week at university they had pizza night. I am from a small midwestern city. I attended a somewhat elite/prestigious university.
I pick up the huge slice of pizza with my hands, take a mouthful. I drop the pizza to my plate and look to the left and the right of me down long straight rows off tables to find everyone else is using a fork and knife and looking at me in almost abject horror.
Despite what they were thinking, I did barely manage to graduate in 4 years. π€£π
You can eat it in whatever way gives you comfort and pleasure. ππ«
For me, itβs the opposite. burger means Iβm eating it and getting messy while doing that, and thatβs what gives me pleasure π
Thatβs alright. People really underestimate how dirty hands are even after hand washing. Also some pizza and burgers are prone become a mess.
We are like peas and carrots you and I π₯Ήπ«π―ππ
It's good for your immune system. Knock the crust off and get to eating.
You guys are worried about the health benefits of hands clean or dirty while eating burgers and pizza ππ
If they are made from good ingredients, there not much wrong with either.
