Which countries?

I've only seen examples from America and the USA, both of which I'm sure eat burgers with the hands. Well, I know the UK does.

 

 

 

My sample size is by no means comprehensive: The overloaded burger seems to be prevalent in Italy and Denmark, where I see most people eat burgers with a knife and fork, regardless of whether or not it's necessary. In the USA, burgers are indeed hand-held whenever possible, but when I'm there, I never end up anyplace that features burgers of any sort (because I eat at places that serve cuisines I can't find here in Denmark), so I've no idea of how virulent the overloaded burger epidemic actually is.
