Apparently, this is the ‘right’ way to eat pizza, but we’re NOT convinced
OK, so we're all about pizza here in Shemazing! HQ, and even though it's not the most nutritious thing for us, we love it (and will eat it) anyway.
Well, apparently we've been eating and holding pizza wrong all these years and we're only finding out the right way now.
If you want to eat it correctly, it's not by holding it by the crust. Nope, it's much more sophisticated than that.
In the traditional sense, you fold it into a 'wallet'.
Food writer Daniel Young told the Manchester Evening News: "The mistake everyone makes is holding the pizza by the crust. That's not to say you should grab it by the cheese-strings, but if you try to lift Neapolitan (Margherita) pizza by the crust the topping will slide off and you'll be left with a soggy-looking piece of dough."
Em, no Daniel. We eat pizza like that every day. No sloppy dough in sight!
He then continues: "You fold it into a wallet. Because Neapolitan pizza was eaten on the street, folded twice upon itself like a wallet."
This way is meant to hold all the cheesy goodness inside but we're not convinced. After a few bites will it not spill out anyway? AND there's zero pictures of 'wallet' pizza (well, there's a few) on the Internet, so we think that explains it all.
Guess we're going to have to order pizza tonight to work this thing out…
