Forums - General - do you know how to use chopsticks?

I can use chopsticks just fine, but prefer a fork, spoon and knife. Sometimes it's fun to use chopsticks, like when your out with friends and a Chinese restaurant. But in all honesty chopsticks are the worst utensil for eating just about anything. Even noodles can be eaten more efficiently with a fork and a spoon then chopsticks.

Anyways....

I've tried.....infact for some odd reason they "taught" us how to use it in high school but...it didnt go too well with me.

I rather stick with eating with a fork/knife or with my hands :)


Necro bumping is against the rules?  I'll have to take your word considering I never looked up the VGC rule book for too long.  I've never seen anyone banned for necro bumping and I've seen plenty of necro bumps.  Sometimes necro bumps are classic.



I struggle to use a knife and fork let alone chopsticks.



I have never tried to use chop sticks before but i would like to try eventually. I prefer using my fingers to eat with to be honest, most food don't need cutlery anyway. It's just looks more civilised if we do

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

I've used them before, and I did quite well. Haven't used them in a while though.

i always drop my food on the floor when i'm using chopsticks. It's always a battle to get it in my mouth



Born and raised in China and came to the US, use chopstick everday, and use it wrong. I hold it like I am holding a pen rather than the "correct" way which my parents prefer.

Chopsticks is a highly effective utensil for eating, and you can eat extremely fast, faster than with a fork when combining the chopstick with a rice bowl. Americans eat with plate, which works better with knife and fork. Chinese eat with a bowl with all the meat already cut into smaller pieces you can pick up with chop sticks. You put ur mouth near the bowl and you plow that rice into your mouth as fast as you can. You can finish a bowl of noodle or rice much faster with a chopstick, with fork it's too big and too clunky and it's sharp too you may hurt urself :)

You cannot eat with chopsticks and a Plate of food effectively, rice if not the sticky kind cannot be picked up. You should only use chopsticks if you use a bowl to eat.



I am going to be a little controversial here, but i find non-asians using chopsticks pretentious



Don't worry. I went to Japan while in university and I was really surprised to find out that university students there eat with spoons and forks very often, and instead of using chopsticks on single-bite foods, they just use their hands! Now whenever I eat sushi i'm always tempted to just use my hands...

I learned how to use chopsticks when I was very young (mom loves sushi), so it's very natural to me.



I took my Indian friend to Korean BBQ, he asked for fork haha. He didn't want to use his hand, and he got disgusted by the squid and shrimp we were grilling too.. He grew up vegetarian but wanted to try Korean BBQ...lol didn't mean to scare him with 'exotic' stuff....which to me was like...oh what? for real? you haven't seen a dead shrimp or squid before?...hmm
