it's so inefficient

So when we were at Franeker a few friends and I decided to go to a cafe for lunch. We all ordered one of their sandwiches as they sounded good. I ordered a club I believe, which is also a very common sandwich in the USA. While we were enjoying our sandwiches, we were getting strange looks from other guests at the cafe. Upon observation, the other guests were eating their sandwiches with forks and knives! WHY? Is it not the point to put things between two layers of bread so that you can hold it with your hands and not make a mess? Afterwards I asked the waiter if it was common to eat a sandwich with forks and knives and she replied with "Yes, is that not what you do?" So the next time in you're in the Netherlands, keep this in mind!

Also notice the side of mayo instead of ketchup...

    This was so bizarre! There was a lady staring me down for, I assume now using my hands to eat my sandwich. It was strange with the mayo instead of ketchup but it was still delicious!

    I noticed the mayo but I did not notice the sandwich thing; Maybe they think its acceptable to eat a burger with your hands but not a sandwich?
