How do I eat a taco?

Question

I'm meeting up with friends at the weekend, and we're going to try tacos. Do you eat the inside first with a knife and fork and then the shell separately, or do you cut pieces off the shell as you go? I'm not accustomed to weird foreign foods and I don't want to look an idiot by not following the correct dining etiquette.

If you insist on the knife and fork, turn it into a taco salad. This is better with crunchy tacos, in my opinion, and it makes the knife totally unnecessary. If it’s a soft taco, chop it up into bite sized pieces and fork them inta yer gullet.
If you eat them like us ‘mericans, you’ll eat it much like an overloaded weiner. Pick it up from one side and bite the other side. Om nom nom!
Either way, you’re missing out if you don’t put extra hot taco sauce on it.

Hold it in your hands the same way you would eat a gyro, falafel or even a hot dog.

Squeeze the top edges of the tortilla together so that the filling doesn't fall out.
Try to hold it parallel to the plate so that the juice doesn't drip out the other end. But tacos are messy, so you will get juice on your fingers no matter what.

Im trying to figure out if you're serious... you pick an end, grab it, and put the other end in your mouth. You eat it like if you had a banger on a bun.

Now, if you're talking about the OTHER kind of taco you eat... I suggest you find some training videos

It's finger food. Elegant option is to offer lemon water bowls and towels to the guest, so they can clean their finger before they touch anything else.

You eat a taco with your hands 😄

Hold it with both hands, thumbs underneath, fingers on top, and tilt your head slightly to the side. Keep the open side facing up, gently squeeze so the filling stays inside, and take small bites from one end.

No knife and fork, no cutting the shell. Just grab, bite, and enjoy the beautiful mess 🌮

Didn’t you make this question before a long time ago? I found this Instagram video on how to eat a taco. It’s not funny like the other ones with the Mexican hat and the Mexican but it explains how to do it

If it's a fish taco, you've got to start by licking the edges of the folded tortilla until it's moist. Give special attention to one of the extremities; where the two folds join together, creating a small, protruding lump of tortilla. Take your time and eventually, you will sense that the moment to dive on in has finally come.

pinky up would be the key... to counterpoint the center of gravity so, it should be fairly easy for a Brit

Well, first I put on romantic music. Then I give a relaxing massage. I tell her how beautiful she is. I lay her down on the bed. I start kissing her neck and ear. I whisper she is the most gorgeous woman I have ever seen. How her smile lights a room up. I spread her legs. etc.

You're joking right? Turn the taco and not your head!

I have no idea how you eat a taco. I've never seen you chow down on a tortilla sandwich.

Please don’t use knife and fork… the taco will lose respect for you immediately. Handheld is the only acceptable option 😆 .

It's best to eat with your hands. Buy inevitably things fall off, so you're better off using a plate underneath.

I mean to eat a taco I just use my mouth, including my lips, tongue, teeth, throat, and swallowing reflex— all of which I recommend that you make use of, but you do you.
