[@nevfelix]

The Great Gatsby Etiquette 1. Keep the time between purchase and consumption of the Gatsby as short as possible. Cold chips are no one's friend. 2. Cut the Gatsby into a maximum of four pieces for the medium and 6 for the large. Anything smaller is a gross injustice to the Gatsby because there's no way you'll be filled by a fifth or less. 3. Any chip falling from any given piece of the Gatsby is considered fair game. The ruling on this is final. 4. When separating the Gatsby, note the point of division: practice absolute precision here to avoid taking the bottom roll of the next person's piece. Ask for assistance if necessary. 5. You must finish your share. Besides it being a terrible waste, you'll be scorned by the Gatsby Fraternity for all time for being versin. 6. Grip is critical. Cup your piece in your hand so that loose bits have nowhere to fall except back into your hands. Avoid the scenario described in Point 3. 7. Never, ever leave the Gatsby unattended.It will "walk away" 8. It's best to accompany the Gatsby with a beverage, ie Coca Cola, Cream Soda or Stoney. Hearty burping guarantees relief. 9. Observe relative silence when consuming the Gatsby. No one likes to talk and eat at the same time. See Point 1 regarding cold chips. 10. Always wash hands with soap and water at the conclusion to avoid getting a spicy finger in the eye, a condition commonly known as "Gatsby Eye". The only cure is self-induced crying. No one wants to see that, so just make the trip and wash your damn hands. 11. The bra that contributes the least towards the gatsby gets the smallest piece... 12. The Gatsby is not supposed to be eaten out of a plate, so make sure you ask the BB.Sc (Bra Behind Shop Counter) to doublewrap the Gatsby to ensure enough paper for everyone. 13. Avoid eye contact with anyone not eating the Gatsby for fear of them asking for a stukkie or shouting "kap 'n baat". Alternatively turn the music volume up in your car. 14. When sipping on the Cola, make sure you only have 2 sips then pass... anyone attempting more than 2 sips forfeit the next round. NO BACKWASH!!! 15. Nothing on the Gatsby is to be wasted (refer point 5), that includes any salads or sauces still remaining in the paper...

[@Van_Wilder]

Captain Dorego (Retreat), Aneesas (Wynberg), Cosy Corner (Wynberg), Bona (Grassy Park), Taj (Grassy Park), Dollars (Salt River), Golden Dish (Athlone), Biesmilah (BoKaap) and…memory is bit vague but I think Poppy’s in Retreat Rd use to sell a decent Gatsby. One thing I wish they brought back though is the old fat crispy Gatsby role.

It's funny how I laugh at Italians when they get bent outta shape about how people treat Italian dishes, but when I see the soulless gatsby creations in this video, it does make me a little upset. There's such a cultural element to the gatsby, that you can't just throw aside and still call it a gatsby.

[@gosomewhereSLOW]

You could not have said it better. That level of commitment and nuanced understanding brings respect. And that is why it becomes something we admire around the world. I hope there's an Italian somewhere laughing at us. - Han
