'Sorry, it's just better': Reality stars Jimmy and Holly Nicholson break 'fundamental' dining rule on holiday
Australian reality stars Holly and Jimmy Nicholson have sparked an online debate after breaking a "fundamental" dining rule during their European holiday.
The Bachelor alums, who are currently expecting their first child together, are holidaying in Italy and have taken to Instagram with a divisive video from their visit to a local restaurant.
They were each enjoying a plate of seafood pasta when Holly sneakily pulled a packet of parmesan out of her purse, hiding it from the waiters around them.

"When you disagree with one of the fundamental Italian rules," Jimmy wrote in a caption on the video.
"Sorry, it's just better," the video caption later read.
The duo shared the comical video to their Instagram pages writing: "Sensitive content warning to any Italians."

Traditionally in Italy, it is considered a big no-no to pair cheese with seafood pasta but it's a dining rule that not everyone agrees with.
This was evident with the debate that ensued Holly and Jimmy's comment section after the video left their fans divided.
Some were shocked by the pair's dining rule-breaking antics.
"How to ruin a meal in 10 seconds," one comment read.
"Nooooooooo you didn't just do that," another read.
Others were completely supportive of their seafood pasta and parmesan pairing.
"I'm Italian and love cheese on my seafood pasta," one comment read.
"I don't care what they say but cheese on seafood pasta works," another read.
Another Instagram user acknowledged the Italian tradition.
"Always a funny conversation when you want Parmesan on a fish pasta," they wrote before agreeing with Holly and Jimmy that "this is a great idea".
