British Prime Minister David Cameron tried to connect with ordinary voters by eating a hot dog at a campaign event — but it had the opposite effect after he was photographed eating the blue-collar snack with a fork and knife. The social media reaction was swift and merciless: "What kind of monster eats a hot dog with a knife and fork?" one person tweeted. Cameron — the Eton-educated son of a stockbroker — is often criticized for being too out-of-touch as Britain struggles with his Conservative government's austerity measures. Cameron's cutlery flub evoked comparisons to a similar foodie faux pas committed by New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio, who ate pizza with a knife and fork in Staten Island in 2014.
