Eating the Pizza Slice......Upside Down?!

[ThriceNightly]

Please forgive me but I only heard this on a random sports radio station during the Euros & couldn't research much else on it (the programme was broadcasting from an Italian Restaurant in the finals week...hence the location theme) One of the presenters mentioned eating the pizza slice upside down for better taste experience i.e tongue coming into contact with the pizza sauce and topping side rather than the dry (& floured) crust....pretty much the other presenters & guests ignored this direction of discussion...but at least I (perhaps the 1 & only listener) took note

Thought it sounded worth a go at least & tried it out. For me works a real treat....certainly a more tasty & pleasurable experience with the zing of the spicy sauce & mozza coming into contact with the taste buds first.....Delizioso!


Appreciate this not exactly groundbreaking but has anyone else ever heard about or tried this eating method for pizza ?

It's complete BS.

Plus all you'll end up achieving is possibly dripping oil/topping and you'll just generally look like a dick.

 

[robfosters]

Surely the crust acts as the solid base on which to support the heavy sauce and cheese?

I reckon you end up with just a sloppy, droopy slice.

 

[Feek]

Good luck doing that without throwing topping/cheese etc on your lap.

Put…the bong…down.

It could be worse. It could be much worse.

A friend of mine ate bananas sideways because, he said, monkeys eat them that way as it tastes better (to do with the way the seeds are distributed or something)

Get your pizza and give it a good lick all over the toppings.

Now eat it normally.

You're not masticating with your tongue so if you want that tasty lick then get it in without inverting the pizza.

I have seen it all now, better wear a bib of some sort because it will have falling chunks of oil or whatever

Those people who go to an Italian chain restaurant and use a knife and fork.

Pretty sure eating pizza with your hands is an American thing. Italians eat with a knife and fork.

So I reckon an italian restaurant should see you using cutlery, tbh.

Don’t some Italian places roll the pizza up and wrap it so you eat it a bit like a burrito?

What ? banana don't have no sides

It could be worse. It could be much worse.

You know who else eats Pizza with a knife & fork ? Donald Trump, never trust a person who eats pizza with a knife & fork

Is this like a Douglas Adams reference or something?

How do you eat a banana sideways ? Like starting in the middle ? then you've got 2 bananas because you ate it in half so you just keep eating from the middle of the parts of banana ending up loads of pieces of banana which is basically the same as taking a bite from the top (if the peel is still on) or starting from the bottom if the peel is off (or on if you're a freak like your friend sounds)

Or did he mean lying on his side to eat it ?

Oh I see.

From memory, he would tend to bite to approximately the centre with each chomp, to get the 'right' flavour. Then eat the other side after

Just don’t do it in public, you’ll be carted off

The only way to eat banana is mashed up on buttery toast. Monkeys can keep their sideways bananas

I've seen people eat that little fibrous bit at the very stalk end. What the hell is wrong with people.
