What do true asians do with fried chicken? How about baby back ribs?

use hands .... instead of forks... hmmm love that full rack

I don't know about you, but Chopsticks are much better for eating than forks. I can eat individual grains of rice, not struggle to pick up peas, eat noodles without them slipping off my fork and do all kinds of neat stuff.

I can eat a single grain of rice with a fork.

Why I would want to do that, I have no idea.

Also as to peas - that's what spoons are for.

Noodles - fork + spoon

I have yet to read the entire post, but I believe many complaining about chopsticks are huge n00bs. Using really chopsticks, not those cheap wood ones with Chinese takeout before making this final decision. The only downside with Chinese dining and chopsticks is using the same utensil to pick up food from the dishes in the center of the table.

I like eating sushi with chopsticks, but use a fork for anything else.

Eating sushi with a metal fork is just WRONG, though... if gives the sushi a weird metallic aftertaste!

Don't start your hate. I am Chinese.

I was eating today with friends and only had one pair of clean chopsticks while I needed two. So, I subed for a fork. And I was looking at my friend who is also Chinese, struggle at some point to pick up a mushroom.

Logically, it just seems that chopsticks more or less does the same thing requiring more dexterity and effort.

They also can't pick up small flat pieces sticking the the plate as well, because they're straight so you can't scoop with leverage.

I think asians use chopsticks for traditions sake, and white people for novelty sake.

I'm abandoning them as of now.

just cause you can use chopsticks doesn't mean you use them well.

You should move on from denial into acceptance and just figure out that it's not the chopsticks that are the problem, but you.

Fuk you, just cuz you have nothing go through your head before you speak doesn't make you cool.

I happen to use chopsticks perfectly, "you should've read a few more posts" until the one i mentioned i'm a master at the wet marbles game.

you like hearing your own voice, and that is just sad cuz , ur probably just in denial that no one likes you.

my first line was DON"T hate, and you simply couldn't get that through your ugly thick skull


you obviously don't use chopsticks 'perfectly' if you're having so much trouble you're contemplating abandoning them.

Telling us you're good at something and then mentioning in the same breath that you suck at it and therefore are not using it anymore is tantamount to 1) a broken sarcasm meter or 2) schizophrenia exhibited by the Bush Administration.

shut the hell up.

you can use chopsticks to pick, cut, and somewhat scoop (mashed potato for example... or for chinese, rice)

just because you can't use them properly doesn't mean it's inferior.

It cracks me up how some people (who happend to be asian) seem to have this chip on their shoulder against white people embracing their culture. You should be happy, hell honored that Americans are so open and willing to try new things. Where is all this anger coming from? Jesus, I know black people who aren't nearly as angry as some of you come off.

first he manages to incorporate racial divide into his statement, and then he manages to include racial stereotypes of black people.

got a real genius here.

Ever bite onto the metal tips of the fork really hard on accident when you put the food in your mouth? Yeah, that sucks. Chopsticks offer more control in a smaller more nimble utensil. Stabbing the food on a loaded plate is also messier than being able to pick out precisely what I want from a dish without pushing the food all over the plate. Plus, you also don't worry about stabbing yourself when washing the utensils.

Chopstick + Spoon is all you need for Asian food, easier too clean as well.

Chopsticks FTW!

WTH? Bite the fork? Stab yourself? No, I have never had either of those experiences. Just like all these noobs need to learn to use chopsticks you need to learn to use a fork.

eh:p

if we fried chicken whole it would be chopped up into small manageable with that nice big ol cleaver you see asians use. chop choppity chop chop! i've seen small pork rib chunks as a dim sum dish. i'm not sure big rack o ribs is a chinese tradition. if we do it, its sorta eaten with hands i guess:p.
