I almost always use a chopstick. I notice a lot of other asian people use a spoon to eat fried rice. Most people in my family also use a chopstick to eat fried rice.

I use whatever is handy. I wouldnt say I'm some master chop stick user but I can get foo din my mouth and walk away full using them. If they are available I use them, if not a spoon or fork works too.

Sometimes. I very seldom use chopsticks at all though. It's useful skill to have, but forks and spoons are superior.

I use forks, spoons and knives to eat my food. I don't care what the traditional way is to eat a dish.

If I can eat Chinese food with a fork and/or a spoon then I will eat it that way.

I lived in Japan for the better part of a decade, so yeah - I eat asian food with chopsticks.

If it's in a small bowl, yes. Otherwise, I use a spoon. What kind of stupid question is this?

Pasta is the only thing that chopsticks rival a fork with. My girlfriend is Asian and she refuses to use chopsticks now that she has easy access to both (forks and chopsticks).

If you are non-Asian and want to be smug, you can use them when around other people.

I'm neither asian nor a pretentious douchebag, so I don't eat anything with chop sticks.

Yeah even in Asia they typically don't eat rice with chopsticks if it's on a plate. If it's in a bowl though they do. Usually the method is to raise the bowl to your mouth and use the chopsticks to shovel the rice into your mouth.

You see restaurants here though that serve rice on a plate and don't give you a spoon. Strange.
