I dont dip my sandwich into anything but my mouth.

Grilled cheese dipped in French onion soup rocks.

No doubt, Italian beef is pretty big in Chicago and baby jesus cries every time someone gets a dry sandwich. "Oh, but I don't wanna make a mess"

I feel like every other time I'm in line at Pinkberry, there's a bunch of stupid girls somewhere.. slutty, dressed in either clubbing/bar attire or Hollister/A&F wear talking about SOMETHING stupid. Just this past Friday it was dumb HS kids, but the other day it looked like some people bar hopping and talking about if their outfits were too skanky.

And you used it as a great opportunity by saying "I think that you look great" right?

I'm the first to admit I didn't know that, but I think it's a gigantic fucking stretch to call it "stupid" to eat sushi with chopsticks. Every sushi place I've ever been to (admittedly only cheap places) gives you chopsticks to eat with, and I'll be damned if I want sticky rice residue, wasabi and salmon oil on my fingers when I'm finished eating.

Edit - I just did a Google Image search for "sushi" and of the first 20 results, 6 images had chopsticks in them.

Whoa, whoa, I agree. I just wanted to clarity what he meant since a few people seemed confused.

I wouldn't call someone stupid for eating sushi with chopsticks, especially in America. It is the norm in the U.S., and how would people know to eat it differently when "Japanese" restaurants run by Vietnamese shove chopsticks down everyone's throat to feel "culturally genuine" Some people in Japan use chopsticks too, although I almost always use my hand.

The only time I find myself using chopsticks to eat sushi are those giant, weird, custom rolls that have a bunch of weird stuff in them. I also use them to make the dipping sauce, or course.

I agree for the most part. There is a bit of a limit when you are in public, however. I think you will get lots of stares if you are eating your steak with your hands and teeth...

Are you sure they are Japanese? What generation were they? Did they come from Japan or are they first or second generation? All the Japanese people I know (as in born and raised in the might Nippon) use their hands.

Also, have you never heard of a french dip?

I don't know what this "Pinkberry" is you speak of, but it definitely evokes some place suitable for that clientele.

I always got shit for not using a knife growing up....I'd just stab my steak with a fork and bite off a piece.

I still think that method is simpler, but I've learned to use a knife if it is appropriate.

Pinkberry is a frozen yogurt type of place.

Heard that so many times.

"We saved your asses in WW2"

The guy he was saying it to was South African.

My dad (American) said this in a pub in England about ten years ago

*sigh* I can't take him anywhere

lol we used to say shit like that to start fights in english pubs. one guy kept a cloth star in his pocket and when the limeys got on our nerves he would slap that star on the bar or table. the brits would say whats that for and he would say. you are now the 51st state. thats normally all it took for the punches to start.

FYI* dont start fights in British pubs unless you plan on a knock down drag out. they dont stop fighting ever.

now the Germans they are different, it takes a lot to get them going and they quit a lot sooner than the brits.

I wish bar fights were like those depicted in old movies where everyone is fighting and breaking glasses but no one seems to get hurt.

Yeah same here. Every time I buy sushi they give me chopsticks.

So obviously it's common enough practice.

Have you been to Japan? More often than not, they use chopsticks. Especially for certain types of maki and always for chirashi.

No, I'm not.

The sushi invented by Hanaya was an early form of fast food that was not fermented (therefore prepared quickly) and could be eaten with one's hands roadside or in a theatre.

Also:

The word sandwich that we use today was born in London during the very late hours one night in 1762 when an English nobleman, John Montagu, the Fourth Earl of Sandwich (1718-1792), was too busy gambling to stop for a meal even though he was hungry for some food. The legend goes that he ordered a waiter to bring him roast-beef between two slices of bread. The Earl was able to continue his gambling while eating his snack; and from that incident, we have inherited that quick-food product that we now know as the sandwich.

Tekkamaki (????) is a kind of Hosomaki filled with raw tuna. Although some believe that the name "Tekka", meaning 'red hot iron', alludes to the color of the tuna flesh, it actually originated as a quick snack to eat in gambling dens called "Tekkaba (???)"

Yea, sushi was orginally fast food, that's great. Onigiri is regarded as the Japanese version of a sandwhich, and are also quick and easy to make, can be easily transported, and are sold in convience stores as a quick and easy meal.

With chirashi most people use chopsticks, yes, but I was assuming most of ATOT wasn't thinking of Chirashi when they said sushi.

But for maki, really? I admit I haven't been to Japan in a long time, so I don't know if the customs have changed. Also, when I ate sushi with Japanese friends it was always in their home and not in a restaurant, so I don't know if that makes a difference. But I always thought the point of maki was to be easily eaten with the fingers. Why bother wrapping it if you are just gonna use chopsticks to eat it?

As is sushi....

I don't know why you think onigiri is so much easier to make than a handroll. I'd say they are about the same.

Either way, this is getting way off topic, so I'm done talking about sushi in this thread.

Nigiri is often eaten with the hands, but the rest is usually eaten with chopsticks from my observation. I guess it depends on the person...
