Reddit user chrispdx asked: 'What's a food that you eat completely different than it's normally eaten?'

Certain foods are almost synonymous with being eaten a certain way.

For example, sushi is traditionally eaten with chopsticks and dipped in soy sauce seasoned with ginger and wasabi, while Moroccan food is believed to be enjoyed much more when eaten by hand.

Others are a bit more flexible in terms of how they should be served, such as the age-old debate as to whether ice cream is better in a cup or a cone.

Sometimes, however, people choose a way of eating certain foods in a manner that is anything but traditional.

In their opinion, however, what they're eating proves to be even more delicious in this unorthodox fashion.


Redditor chrispdx was curious to hear which foods people eat in wildly different manners than intended, leading them to ask:

There's a more than likely chance that someone will give you side-eye, or even scoff at you should you eat your food differently than they do.

As long as the food tastes delicious, that's their problem and not yours.

And who wouldn't agree that the top is the best part of the muffin?

Dem Rep. Offers Brutally Accurate Reason For Why He Can't Understand 'The Mind Of Donald Trump'
