Chopsticks suck

[It's Not Lupus]

Why are Chinese people still using chopsticks? Are they too prideful to use the superior spoon and fork?

spork > chopsticks > everything else

 

[EvilYoda]

So you suck at using chopsticks, eh?

It's all just part of their ninja training, along with math and the knowledge to turn alcohol into beautiful music. When you have to learn how to use a couple of sticks to eat from a young age, learning how to disappear into shadows is a cakewalk.

They used to use knives and a prong-like thing 2000 years ago. Then they invented chopsticks in the Han dynasty. More hygienic, less barbaric.

Just cause you have the hand-eye coordination of a epileptic squirrel doesn't mean anyone else has troubles with chopsticks.

I've been forced to use chopsticks on a nightly basis for the past 7 years. It sucked at first, but now it's actually nice to not have to stab or shovel food like a toddler.

I frequently ask why "my people" invented chopsticks to eat rice, but then I realize... noodles. Best for noodles. Beat forks.

Forks do just fine with noodles.

Eating Chinese with chopsticks slows down the meal and is just fun, IMHO. If you don't agree then you should eat with whatever utensil floats your boat.

I'm all about people enjoying themselves

Aye. Down with barbarism.

Chopsticks are fine for eating most Chinese meal since everything is already chopped to smaller size. I can't imagine using chopsticks to eat a 20oz steak.

+1 but most of us here reside in the land of shovelling salty fatty goods into our breathing hole as fast as possible. 'Merica.

Chopsticks are the best; I use them whenever I possibly can.

I find them fun to use, especially for shovelling salty, fatty, sugary, MSG-ey faux-Chinese foods into my noise hole. Same goes for authentic "far-eastern" foods.

Eating food with a pair of sticks is uncivilized. Fucking savages.

Please post a picture of you cutting into a 20 oz steak with a dull piece of wood.

Having to cut up the food yourself is uncivilised. Fucking savages.
