same goes for steaks.....

you use spoons. asians don't use chopsticks for everything

steaks are a purely western food so you'd better use western utensils for that

I hope you mean either East Asians, or Orientals, because IIRC, Indians may have never even heard of chopsticks.

LOL because they use hands :laugh:

Chopsticks strictly for eating Chinese food for me.

it kind of depends on what you're eating. I'd rather use chopsticks to eat Chinese food that features a lot of stuff that are precut. But if i was eating steak it wouldn't make sense to use them.

Exactly, it's all about what you're eating. Personally I like chop sticks, but as you pointed out I wouldn't think of using them for a steak, or non-pre cut meat.

How do you eat non-sticky rice with chopsticks?

Anyone that didn't grow up using Chopsticks who thinks they are superior to "western" utensils is a pretentious asshole.

You can still pick up rice just fine with chopsticks. If you hold it spaced enough, it will hold rice.

I find that I pick up food faster with chopsticks than "western" utensils, although, there are some situations that are easier to eat with a "western" utensils.

I believe that you are referring to sticky rice. Uncle Bens isn't gonna stay on a set of chop sticks.

Fork is for fatties w/ fat fingers, who might as well pickup the chunk of meat w/ their hands and stuff it in their mouth.

BTW, Fpoon FTW.

You have no idea how lucky you are that stabbing people over the internet hasn't been invented yet.

Because I would have stabbed you countless times already for saying fpoon.

Somehow saying it in that context is alright, although I do see some hipocracy there.

Chopsticks are great if you can get the cook to cut up all your food into bite sized pieces. My mom stopped doing that for me when I was eight.

I use chopsticks when I eat sushi and chinese food. Isn't that when you are SUPPOSED to use them?

 

[randay]

yes
no
knife
chopstick
chopstick

Third one could go either way, if its edible and I can get it into my mouth, theres usually no problem just using the teeth to get what I want.

I learned to eat with sticks when I was a kid, and my dad got stationed at Kadena AFB in Okinawa. Never forgot, although, I still tend to use fork/spoon much more often, even when in a Chinese/Japanese restaurant. More efficient for me. I've cared makeshift chopsticks a couple of times when out camping and forgot "hardware"...work fine for most foods, but soups and other liquids are not "chopstick friendly"...

Actually, you are right.

No offense to them, but you should see the way the south Indians have their dal bhat/chawal (rice and curry).
