Fork is mightier than sword

Pizza is undoubtedly my favourite food. And anytime for pizza iam all good to go. i have never felt the need to struggle with fork or knife to eat food. I mean your hungry like hell and you want to gobble up all the food in front of you to kill your hunger and how can you patiently cut you food with knife and grab the piece with your fork. In india we eat every other food with hand except icecream of course. I mean idli,dosa,sandwich,roti,rice. Then why should i struggle with fork to eat a pizza. Today i went to pizza express alone to eat my dinner. With an overwhelming feeling of eating pizza for dinner i happily ordered for a veg pizza. When they bought it finally i was all set to grab it ( i was hungry like hell owing to the fact that i didnt eat lunch today) and to my disappointment the pizza was not cut into slices. Now how the hell iam i supposed to eat it. Eat it like dosa?? i would look like a fool there who has never seen a pizza in her life and thinks it to be nothing but dosa with exotic toppings. So i requested the server to cut into slices. After he got them sliced into pieces. I saw a fork and knife next to me and thought to myself let me try this time. So i held the instruments proudly in my hand like a doctor waiting to perform his 100th successful surgery. Alas!! i just could'nt. My friend says that in india you eat with your hands and when you go abroad, be a roman when yoour in rome. I told him 'mein bhale hi apni desh se bahar jaon par hamare sanskar kho nahi bhulthi'. So i put those devils down and started eating with my hands. In india we say food as Lakshmi devi. Khana bagwan saman hotha hai aur kya tum usse knife se khtke kaoge kya?? But yeh angraz ki duniya hai aur yahan pe agar inke jaise tum nahi rahoge tho woh tumhe dirty looks dethe hai. I got a lot of them, i tried to switch in between but i gave up. I didnt care i have got such dirty looks before. Once in oxford when me and my husband got dirty stares from 2 kids when we were eating pizza with our hands in pizza hut. We ate like the kids never existed. Today i missed my husband. If he were there i would have had a company. So i decided when i came out of pizza express that i will never come alone here and even if i had to i'd rather order it to be delivered home.
