You've Been Eating These 8 Foods The Wrong Way

Apples

Most people eat apples from the sides inwards, then throw away the core – but this isn't actually the best way to consume the fruit, as it wastes some of the edible flesh.

Burgers

We usually eat burgers with the thickest part of the bun at the top – but often it's better to eat them upside down.

Cherries

Cherries are delicious, but the pits – the stones at the centre of every fruit – can be annoying to spit out.

Chicken wings

It's hard to get to all the tender, delicious meat a chicken wing has to offer if you simply nibble around the bones.

Cupcakes

Cupcakes are so irresistible, it's no wonder most of us dive straight in and take a bite – regardless of where the toppings end up.

Dumplings

If you solely use chopsticks to eat dumplings that contain soup or broth (like xiao long bao), the hot liquid and filling can easily end up scalding the inside of your mouth.

Kiwis

Slicing off a kiwi's hairy skin means you'll lose a lot of the flesh. The more efficient way to do it? Slice the fruit widthways into coin shapes, then pick off the skin – it'll come away easily.

Fries

This one might be controversial – but if you like to slather or squirt ketchup onto your French fries before you get stuck in, you're technically ruining them.
