Nine of the Most Unflattering Foods to Eat

These are just so messy...

Una Kavanagh

When it comes to tucking into grub, some can be more forgiving than others. Seriously, when have you ever eaten soup and looked cool?

Too many times have we been caught out eating food that’s messy, sticky and manages to get all over the place.

From getting ice cream on your clothes to getting sauce on your fingers – Here are nine of the most unflattering foods to eat in public:

1. Plums

There’s no way to bite into this fruit without dribbling on yourself somehow. We’re considering abandoning them for apples.

2. Spaghetti

The spaghetti strands manage to whip off your face, and suddenly there’s red sauce everywhere. If we had a euro for everytime tomato sauce made its way onto our clothing, we’d be millionaires.

3. Barbeque Spare Ribs

Gets all over your fingers and quite frequently, on your face – definitely not something you’d want to eat on a date! If there’s a cleaner way to eat these, please let us know…

4. Soup

Slurp, slurp, slurp. Need we say more?

5. Ice Cream

The ice cream melts down your fingers while you desperately try clear it up. What’s worse is trying to eat the cone and desperately licking the bits of ice cream left in it!

6. Crème Eggs

We all eat our eggs differently but we’re still yet to find an attractive way at gobbling it down.

7. Chicken Wings/Legs

In three simple words: A big mess. Thankfully someone has come up with the solution for this one!

8. Oysters

Sucking out oysters is never pretty. Combined with the slurping noise, this instantly spells disaster.

9. Wraps/Burritos

No matter how hard you try, somehow the filling always manages to topple out the bottom.
