How do you feel when you see foreigners eating your country's food incorrectly?

How do you feel when you see foreigners eating your country's food incorrectly...

Not just foreigners, but locals, too!

Here in my home town of Ottawa, Canada, we have a particular regional pastry called a beaver tail (stylized as BeaverTail, because Ottawa has too many out of work programmers).

It is a fried piece of dough covered in various toppings.

You can get them with some very messy toppings too, like chocolate hazelnut spread:

Maple spread:

Or my personal favourite, cream cheese icing, Skor bits and caramel sauce:

So, how do you eat this thing incorrectly? Well, the uninitiated tend to attack this wonder food like a slice of pizza: Start at one end and work your way to the other.

The problem is, you end up wearing most of the toppings on your Insta-worthy face.

How do you eat a BeaverTail properly? Like a slice of pizza: Fold it in half the long way, and get to work.

EDIT:

I should also point out that a lot of tourists make the mistake of eating BeaverTails in the summer months. BeaverTails are strictly a fall/winter food! Snarfing down a Killaloe Sunrise in 30°C heat after jogging the kids around the Canadian Museum of Nature — with nothing to drink but a Timmy’s — is a good way to lose your poutine.
