If so, how regularly do you use them? When did you learn? If not, why haven't you? Do you have any asian food near you?

We would have won the Vietnam War if we had just airdropped millions of plastic forks over North Vietnam. They'd be begging to take part in our superior western lifestyle within hours.

the nice thing about chopsticks is that they work equally-well for getting the food into one end and getting the food out of the other end.

Believe it or not, my 7th grade teacher taught the class how to use chop sticks. Came in handy when I was in Japan for two week. Pro tip: if you go to Japan, don't stick your chop sticks into the rice bowl or the waitress will get very angry. I didn't do it but someone else in my group did.

I learned this when I was a small child, my father looked me in the eye and told me I must learn the ways of the ancestors. I sought out the wisest crone on the oldest mountain and in this manner I began the Suzuki Method, as my father had and his father before him.

My mom taught me wrong but I did an exchange in Okinawa and they laughed at me so I learned the correct method.

symbolic posted:IIRC you only stick chopsticks into a bowl of rice after a funeral or some cultural bullshit like that You don't stick them into the bowl because it looks like incense offerings at a funeral and is bad luck. But when I'm having leftover Chinese I just jam 'em in the bowl. Live dangerously.

The kid did it on purpose cause he heard it was a bad thing to do. The waitress immediately lunged at the rice bowl and took it away, knocking over peopkes drinks. Other trip highlights include a girl who was selling blowjobs to the other kids on the trip for money to buy anime poo poo cause she had maxed out the credit card her mom lent her, kids shooting bottle rockets out hotel windows and throwing garbage around Mt Fuji on a guided hike.

I live in a big city and often go out to Asian restaurants with my primarily non-Asian friends and it weirds me out how they somehow all know how to use chopsticks. Like, was this some life skill I missed out on? IDGI

Yes I do, but I always prefer a fork...similar to the way I prefer to fly between countries rather than skateboard. It is just more efficient.

I use chopsticks while eating obviously "freedomied" Chinese food. I'm respectful and a consumer man gently caress the haters.

My white rear end dad actually made some pretty bomb rear end chinese food and we'd eat that with chopsticks, so I learned to use then when I was little. I remember trying a few years ago to learn how to use them right handed and finally getting it down because I read on some travel blog that the people of asia thought that left handed people had like 6 heads and puked cats and I wanted to fly under the radar.
