cutlery ban

Finger food on the menu at restaurant

Published: 09/10/2008

A PIZZA restaurant in London has created a little bit of a stir – and, no doubt, a little bit of extra business from the publicity – by banning its customers from using knives and forks.

Its Italian owners believe that we should start eating pizza as it was meant to be eaten – with our fingers. When in Rome . . . as the saying goes.

This will go down a storm with all those mums and dads who spend years trying to teach their kids not to eat with their fingers and to use knives and forks instead.
