The North -American toasted by Europeans above the “primitive” eating habit: “worse than the keys of a board”

It is a fight and a knife.

A viral video of Tiktok showing a North -American woman trying the “European way” of food has led to an international food struggle, and critics say that their table ways are Barbara directly.

Tiktok user, Amy Gordy @amygordy1, published a viral video of herself trying the so -called “Continental” style: what does not play musical chairs with your utensils.

Gordy, channeling his Emily Post, did his best to keep the fork in his left hand and the knife to his right, unlike the typical north -American technique of cutting food, dropping the knife, then changing the fork’s hands as if it were a culinary squares dance.

But its continental change quickly came out of the lanes.

Viewers could not believe their eyes or their grip.

“This has turned me, I have never thought of how I use cutlery,” a confused money wrote.

Another viewer stated after the clip re -published in X (before Twitter): “The North -Americans are so primitive to the world leaders. Take the knife in the right hand! It is your dinner sword. See that the north -Americans eat is worse than the keys on a whiteboard.”

The video, which accumulated more than 2 million views and thousands of comments, not only caused the indignation of online labels.

He also triggered a domestic dispute because Gordy’s husband felt by saying that in the background his wife holds the two utensils while talking to her is “rude”.

This had Tiktok users who nailed their pearls and cutlery.

“Saying that you are doing it wrong and that it is rude to keep the cutlery when he speaks,” a user wrote with disbelief.

Another packed: “Do I miss something?!? Eating correctly is rude in America?”

“… the guy sounds like a work. People speak with utensils in their hands all the time, it has never been cursucated,” he tweeted @thisisverrying, who also re -published Gordy’s original video.

In the meantime, some critics nailed the form of Gordy’s fork and knife, who said he had thrown their hands on standard European configuration.

“It is not the” European way “, it is the correct way,” a commentator smoked.

Others forgave more, insisting that there is no “correct” way to eat, as long as you do not throw mashed potatoes throughout the room.

However, for some Europeans, see the North -Americans cut off dinner as if it were an Olympic event is still a horror show.

“I am confused, how do the north -Americans do?” He asked a commentator, apparently still recovering from Cultural Whiplash.

Knife to get to know -in fact.

And, while the exchange of Gordy’s utensils stirred the online pot, the British as the expert on the William Hanson label would probably argue that it is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to food Faux Pas.

Hanson, called the Britain’s label coach, recently stunned by viewers, insisting that there is only one way to eat a banana: with a knife and a fork.

“No, we don’t pick it up and we peel it as a primate,” he said in a now viral Instagram tutorial.

“Instead, we use a knife and a fork. First, going from one end, cutting it, then cutting the other end, turning the knife next to it. Then score the skin, peel and eat like that.”

Its formality fed by fruits did not end there.

As the publication previously reported, in a follow -up, Hanson demonstrated the “correct” way of eating grapes, using scissors to snatch a smaller group on a plate, naturally.

At least no cutlery was needed.
