   - 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.

     @clacke BATMAN. It's embarrassing but that's how Alfred taught him.

     It's brought up at times in all the Bat-family comics, Bruce's habits are super stuffy when he's out of uniform.

     @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?

     @clacke I do use a knife and fork if it is big and messy. Burgers, pizza. Eat it or wear it.

     @clacke @valhalla Now for the real test. Was there pineapple on the pizza?

     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 × 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 )

     @valhalla @clacke @az Well, I keep telling people that the Romans wore socks with their sandals up north, so it's really the height of Italian fashion - right @simoxsimo ?

     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

     It sounds like you're wearing socks with socks.

     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.

     @clacke @valhalla 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.

     @loke @valhalla This one was the kind where they pinned the top bread in place with a toothpick. =)
     
     But it was *possible* to eat it with just your hands.
