Yes, I know New Yorkers are pizza snobs for their style of pizza. Yes, I know that they like to fold the slice and eat it with their hands. That's one reason I use a fork - to drive them crazy.
I have often eaten pizza with a fork. I have sometimes eaten hot sandwiches (such as reubens or even hamburgers) with a fork. This a.m. I was alternately eating mrs jimfree’s almond poppy seed muffins with a fork and with my hands. They were absolutely delicious either way.
