Food, Drink & Dining Out Can you use chopsticks?

[Northworth]

wooden disposable ones are easier to use than the thick plastic (chinese) ones

Yes. Slows me scoffing my food down like I usually do.

I can use them in the same sense I can use an iron - it's not an efficient use of my time.

Spent 3 weeks in (mainland) China a few years back and I was determined to not use a fork the entire time. Took about 2.5 of the most frustrating hours of my life to get the hang of them but now I can use them pretty easily.

If you have nice grippy ones it's actually just like picking stuff up with your fingers but less messy.

Don't see the point in trying to use them when forks and spoons do the job so much better and easier.

Using chopsticks is the equivalent of trying to mow the lawn with a pair of scissors.

Can use them, but prefer a fork.

Yes but get the Asian soup spoon involved when getting to the bottom of the bowl to scoop up the rice.

But Thai (who don't traditionally use chop sticks) & sometimes Malay involves western spoon and fork.

 

[Speck]

Yes, purely because I once turned up to a work lunch late and no one else was using a fork so I couldn't ask.

From that point forward I've vowed to use chopsticks wherever possible.

Yes, rougher with more grip, so easier to pick up that last grain of rice.
However plastic ones are better to put up the japs eye, no splinters.

Above average for a white male - but its one of those skills where I am pretty good until I think about what I'm doing - then I just fall apart

 

[iluvparis]

At least you didn't ask if they had any sweet and sour pork

 

[Sultan]

I'm pretty good with chopsticks, but I never use them if a superior form of cutlery is already at the table.

Don't have the patience for them.

I can catch a fly with them
