I’m an etiquette expert and THIS is how elegant ladies should eat a burger – but outraged foodies say ‘you might as well not order it’

A TikTok user and etiquette expert has showed how ‘elegant ladies’ should eat their burger – but outraged foodies insist ‘you might as well not order it’.

Antonia Higham, from the UK, regularly posts videos on social media of how to look ‘expensive’ and ‘elegant’ in public. 

In one of her latest clips, Ms Higham tells ‘elegant ladies’ the ways in which they should and should not eat burgers. 

The first rule to be aware of is not to pick up a patty and try to ‘shove it’ into your mouth.

Foodies should also be wary of picking their burgers apart and getting grease all over their hands. And according to the TikTok user, picking up a burger and dunking it in sauce is also off the cards. 

The way to eat one, according to Ms Higham, is to first cut it in half, and then break it up into smaller pieces so you can eat it with your fork. 

However, her rules for eating a burger were slammed by some TikTok users. One said: ‘Just eat it the way you want, no need to be elegant when it comes to eating a burger.’

Another added: ‘I refuse to eat a burger cut up in pieces like I’m a child.’ A third wrote: ‘I don’t need this type of negativity in my life,’ while a fourth added: ‘Hilarious. I’d never do that. Not normal.’

And a fifth added: ‘People are looking at you WAY more strangely when you’re cutting a burger versus eating it normally.’ 

A few people defended Ms Higham, with one saying: ‘This is fantastic – then you don’t get any drippings on your clothes, takes longer to eat so you fill up faster, and your hands are clean.’

While a second said: ‘I do this, not to be elegant, just because my mouth is too small and I can’t eat whole.’ And a third wrote: ‘I cut mine into quarters. That’s lady like enough for me.’
