Know How To Use Chopsticks?

Hey,

You guys know how to use chopsticks? :O

Yes but it's much less inconvenient to just use a fork, so I often just go with that.UCF_Knight

I either shove it in whole or spend 10 minutes trying to nibble it down.SolidSnake35

No I don't. Then again I've never even used them before.

I can use them to grab sizable objects and lift them to my mouth. I have no fine motor skills with them, though; I'd be hopeless if I tried using them to eat something like rice.

I recall actually doing that at a Chinese restaurant once, though itmade my meal a lot less enjoyable.

Oh yeah, I don't use them a lot but generally speaking they're pretty easy to use and actually I'm usually surprised to hear that anybody these days has much trouble with them.

Yep. When eating Japanese food in particular, I eat everything, including every bit of my portion of rice using chopsticks exclusively.

I pay for it with temporary arthritis later.

For a lot of meals I find Chopsticks to be the best option. Of course, my wife loves to cook vietnamese/thai/japanese/chinese so it comes naturally with the food we like to eat.

That being said, I don't have the right grip/hold, according to her. I tried her way (according to japanese and vietnamese people whe met) but I was so inefficient I gave up. I still have that wrong grip, but it works.

I'm chinese so not knowing how to use chopsticks isn't an option :P

Never had to. I ironically have an asian girlfirend, who obviously is a master at using them. Her family buys really expesnive ones too.

No, and everytime I try I feelinadequate.

I never use any kind of eating utensil or my fingers, I just slam my head into the meal and go to town

I prefer to use chopsticks over a knife and fork. I'm really good with them and I find food just tastes better that putting steel in my mouth,

Yes I can.

I'm decent at using them.

No, and I always hate having to ask for separate silverware when going out for sushi or something. It makes me feel like a child :P

yep. i use them whenever i eat chinese food.

Hell yes, I do. I prefer to eat my food like a vile beast by using my hands, though.

Nope, I think they're stupid. Knife and fort FTW!PernicioEnigma

Yeah pretty easy

I can use them pretty well I think. I have trouble cutting noodles with them though.

Yes. It's quite fun using chopsticks to lift a round boiled egg or a peanut. I hold the chopsticks in V shape. Some people do it in X shape. I find V shape is easier to lift food and to cut something soft.

If you're eating rice with it, don't forget to lift the rice bowl to chest height. Some people forgot this because they focused too much on how to hold chopsticks.

i have been eating with my fingers since i was a kid. i could operate fork and knife , but don't have dexterity to use chopsticks. but then i am not japanese/chinese
