[YOyoYOhowsDAjello]

Just above Useless

I can pick up a single grain of rice with my chopsticks.. I hate sushi, though..

By the way, that single grain of rice, is it cooked or uncooked?

 

[Mo0o]

About as good as you can get short of catching a fly

The ability to pickup an uncooked grain of rice is just about as useless as the ability to lick your nostril, however it is not difficult to do with small pointy chopsticks.

<-- Viet, not too bad, and normally cross my chop sticks & still can cut noodles this way. I can use it uncross like others, however it feel uncomfortable to me. And, my Chinese GF make fun of me for crossing my chop sticks.

for those of us who aren't in the know, what is this "crossing chopsticks" thing?

When your hands relaxed the chopsticks should be parallel to each others instead of crossing each others.

Chopsticks snobs think that their way is the only way to hold chopsticks. IMHO, as long as you can pickup the food and shovel it into your mouth you are doing fine.

QFT - food in mouth = good

lol, but crossing the chopsticks sucks. it sucks because you can't execute too much power, nor can you have superior control. it doesn't look proper too . it's kind of analagous to how some people hold their forks/spoons w/ their palms facing down, w/ the shaft of the fork/spoon popping out of the thumb area of a clenched fist.

you chop-stick snob!

Where is the even below useless option.

spoons, knives and forks FTW

I could pick up sand with chopsticks.. and I'm only intermediate at it.
Sand is the easiest.. just dip the chopsticks in your mouth, and the adhesion from the spit will pick up the grain of sand

 

[kirkaptain]

Why would I eat sand?

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

Picking up a single grain of rice is easy. I've never used chopsticks meant to pick up a single grain of sand, so I've never tried. Never tried eating sand

You wouldn't. But you might want to pick up a grain of sand, to demonstrate your chop stick skills.

 

[Mik3y]

I'm a master. I'm asian and have been using them for as long as I can remember.

 

[Sphexi]

Repost, and yes I can use them, I can pick up peanuts, all of that good stuff.

sushi? some japanese people would argue that you should eat sushi with your hands.

ah here we go

* Clean your hands by an oshibori (hot towel) then order a drink.
* Green tea (called agari in sushi restaurants) is the best drink with sushi.
* You can order a set of sushi with a fixed price or order your favorite sushi pieces as you eat.
* It's nice to ask the sushi chef for his/her recommendation of the day.
* If you are not ordering a set of sushi, it is better to order a few kinds of sushi at a time, instead of ordering a lot.
* Put soy sauce for dipping in the small dish provided.
* To eat sushi, it's common to use your fingers.
* When dipping sushi in the soy sauce, do not dip whole sushi. Just dip the end of the sushi as you eat.
* Try not to ask the sushi chef to bring you things - like a drink or your bill.
* It's nice to offer to buy your sushi chef a drink if he/she is doing a good job.

ps, i'm not japanese, so i rarely use my fingers for sushi.

Sushi is Americanized...

 

[Fritzo]

I can only use them to catch flies.

 

[pontifex]

i've tried a few times but can never get it

 

[Albis]

yes i can

but only things that are not super slippery or oily

 

[ElFenix]

the odd thing about chop sticks is that a far superior tool, the fork, was invented in thailand, and yet sees much more use on the other side of the world.

 

[monk3y]

I'd say I'm intermediate... I use them quite often. It actually aids in eating less per meal as it takes me longer to eat.

 

[Brutuskend]

Advanced and I can pick up a grain of rice.

I'm a white guy!
