Journalists and photographers attending the event expected to report on Cameron’s talk about tax and pensions with the Docherty family, but instead, a picture of his eating a hot dog with a knife and fork went viral.

Before taking a bite, the Conservative leader waited for the cameras to leave, probably trying not to replicate Labour Leader Ed Miliband, who was caught by photographers earlier last year munching a bacon sandwich.
But one photographer managed to snap a shot of the prime minister gracefully cutting up his hot dog.
During a visit to the U.S back in 2012, the Daily Mail newspaper reported that “the posh Dave struggled to eat a hot dog without silver service” while being photographed eating a hot dog with President Obama at a basketball game.
