But, I just can't bring my self to eat Pizza unless I pick it up and fold it. never done that. Its frustrating that you don't notice these things at the time but I think Italians eat it with a knife and fork, as you might expect? -- Mike Reid Wasdale-Thames path-London-Photos "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Eat-walk-Spain "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |

Yes..lots of folks in Italy fold their pizza...for one thing, these are thin-crust,and not loaded with 50,000 toppings...folks fold and eat them sort of like a sandwich.. Ah, someone with a better memory! I do remember that pizza in Italy is much simpler than US style, to the extent of examples with zero topping or a little cheese and some fresh leaves. -- Mike Reid Wasdale-Thames path-London-Photos "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Eat-walk-Spain "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |

As to your original posting, I noted that you were eating in your hotel. I found it amazing 8-9 years ago that there were only two restaurants in Lerwick not associated with hotels open for dinner. While shopping for food at Safeway there for our rented apartment, my wife asked the young female cashier where she would go to eat dinner. She thought for a few seconds, and then replied "My mothers". I think generally in the northern isles restaurants are very thin on the ground, I suspect crofters dont eat out much. Where there are facilities its everything under one roof, bar, rooms, food. On Yell, the motel, cafe and "pub" were all (permently?) closed down. -- Mike Reid Wasdale-Thames path-London-Photos "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Eat-walk-Spain "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |

It must take a lifetime of practice before one can balance peas on the back of an inverted fork! bugger that, if a "rule" is a pain, ignore it. -- Mike Reid Wasdale-Thames path-London-Photos "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Eat-walk-Spain "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |

Nope, they cut it into wedges and then fold the wedges. The folding is
only partial and helps keep the wedges straight. Thumb and middle finger underneath, index finger squashing the top down and, hey presto! the slice stays straight enough to eat. Wouldn't work with thick base and heavy toppings. But then Debrett's does frown on heavy toppings.... |
