The class divide in pea eating
Hanson acts as the director for The English Manner, which is an etiquette training institute in the United Kingdom — so it’s safe to say, he knows a thing or two. In a recent video, Hanson schools his viewers on the proper way to eat peas if you want to cosplay royalty for the night. Apparently, if you’ve just been using a knife to push a bunch of peas onto your fork, you’ve been doing it wrong. The correct — albeit brutal — way to eat them is by stabbing the individual peas with the tines of your fork. Hanson is only able to get what looks like five or six peas on his utensil before popping them into his mouth (tines facing down, of course).
