The pizza is eaten with your hands or with cutlery?

Every time we sit down at the table in the pizzeria with friends, relatives or strangers, we face the usual doubt: I'm doing good to eat pizza with your hands or it would be better to use the knife and fork?

Let's take a quick brush up to what suggests the “fashionable”, manners of sitting at the table.

Fortunately, to eat pizza, just follow a few simple steps:

The pizza by the slice you eat with your hands, while the pizza dish is strictly eaten with knife and fork.

While during the consumption of pizza by the slice, there are no rules to follow, apart to not talk with your mouth full :-), for the pizza to the dish and use of cutlery quickly we review together how we should behave.

At the end of lunch, arrange the cutlery in the dish for hours 18:30, the right knife with the blade facing towards the center of the plate and the fork to its left with the tips upward.

On this end dining location unfortunately, Some etiquette disagree and suggest o'clock position 14:10 and even others advise to place the cutlery for hours 15:15.

Personally I suggest everyone take the time to position 18:30 for a reason: Sparecchierà when the waiter take your plate from your right, then let the cutlery to o'clock position 15:15 They would hinder the waiter with the risk that they may accidentally fall on your dress, on your pants or skirt.

These rules of etiquette alas are not equal in all countries. Did you know that in England and in France the forks are always supported in the dish with the tip pointing downwards? It all began in 1714 When King George of England during a royal lunch was infuriated by the news reported by a put real and beating strongly with his fists in the pot flew dangerously fork. Since then it was decided to change the fork position turning the tips it down, then over the years fashion also infected neighboring France.

Another rule of etiquette that should always be respected is to never cross your cutlery. It has nothing to do with bad luck, but in Sant'Andrea that condemned, He chose to die on an X-shaped cross, refusing to die in the same manner in which Jesus died. Since then it avoids remembering the cruel history of avoiding having to cross the cutlery in the dish.

One last tip about manners of sitting at the table: Never place the cutlery with the tip on the plate and the handle on the tablecloth. They must always be laid in balance within the plate.

For all those who have no intention of following good manners when they're sitting at the table, remember to arrange the cutlery in a certain way rather than another, It helps the wait staff to do their job very well and as fast without wasting time.

  1. Thanks for helping me understand that placing the cutlery the right way will help the restaurant staff to work easily. I will keep that in mind since we are going to eat out this weekend to celebrate the birthday of my sister. I just think that it would be nice to help the crew of the restaurant because I feel like it is really overwhelming to work in such an environment.
