Do you know how to eat with chopsticks?

Question

Leavesbound · Accepted Answer

Yes of course I do. I eat Chinese food all the time and frequently make it though as far as I know the only Chinese blood I have is I'm distantly descended from Genghis Khan. My Dad, who also liked Chinse Food, taught me how to use chopsticks when I was a kid and told me I was not allowed to eat Chinese food with a fork or my fingers. So if I wanted to eat it I had to use chopsticks. it took me a while but I got the hang of it. Though here in Florida I do get funny looks when I pick up and start using a pair at a Chinese restaurant.

Yes I do it's very easy if you have a piece of duct tape take that piece of duct tape and you take those chopsticks put them underneath the fork and then take them to the park now go ahead and put the fork into the food and then put it in your mouth everything tastes better with chopsticks LOL

Yes i do, its super easy, but I've also been doing so since i was a little kid. Its funny because my boyfriend doesn't know how to use them & he gets so frustrated watching me while he's using a fork or spoon.

I do know how to eat with chopsticks. I taught myself at a Japanese restaurant when I was 4. Now that I am a mom I realize what an accomplishment that was.

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

Yeah, being going out to China etc for a number of years.

Can use the various types.

Admittedly some food is fucking impossible with them lol.

they do come in handy with king crab legs, as you can push the meat out of the legs,

Sonorous · Answer

Nah, I prefer efficiency & comfort when I eat. And since I don't value eating that way, I'll never be as efficient as someone that really really practices and enjoys it. But I do like the look of them more than standard utensils.

Ez-Bri-Z · Answer

Ezpz.  Break apart the sticks then hold them in one hand, before quickly stabbing both through whatever you are trying to eat like a modified fork.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

Ni ha! I am dating a woman who is Chinese and I am learning how to use chopsticks, among many other things.

Anonymity123999 · Answer

I can use them without difficulty but if someone in Asian saw me using them I probably dont hold them correctly.

EmmaMary · Answer

I'm certainly nowhere near "skilful" but I can get by... Just!

Haru_chan · Answer

Yes, I do. It took me a lot of time to learn how to eat with it but in the end I am pro now.

DJB72 · Answer

It took a few weeks to learn, but yep. I love oriental food, not all of the Asian cultures use chopsticks now. Thailand, while it was Siam, began using Western cutlery over a century ago. I love sushi. It's fun with chopsticks!

FakeName123 · Answer

I've done that before, but not really practiced. Though, a chinese dude once told me "you you tell the difference by those who shovel and those who eat it piece by piece"

SmokinAces2000 · Answer

My skill comes and goes, it’s weird sometimes I’ll be able to eat with them and than sometimes I can’t

Omario2049 · Answer

I can use them. I would say I'm a pro chopsticker but I use them when I wanna feel fancy at the Thai Bar. Forks rule though👌🏾😅

TommyMountainFigure · Answer

No I don't, but unlike some people I see eat these days I can at least hold a knife and fork properly.

iseekpinetrees · Answer

Yes we learned in class in second grade. Teacher was Chinese or something. Always thought it was cool.

purplepoppy · Answer

Yes but I prefer the dignity of a knife and fork. The only reason for a westerner to use chop sticks is to prove they can.

ChiTown33 · Answer

Yes you take the chopsticks. You throw them in the garbage. Then you ask for a fork.

Medhat-M · Answer

Nope never tried it... I hope it's easier than it looks

Hentaibby · Answer

Yes , I learned on my own so I hold them differently than anybody I’ve ever seen. So people make fun of me sometimes but oh well lol

scentoflavender · Answer

I used to be really good with them. My oldest daughter loves sushi. But I'm sure I've fallen out of practice.

SaoirseS · Answer

I do. My Japanese mother taught me when I was a kid. But given a choice between chopsticks and a knife and fork, the flatware wins every time.

Matt57 · Answer

I can, but not skilled or confidently enough to go to one of the countries that uses them and try to use them. I at least don’t cross them very much anymore, so that’s a plus.

Jamie05rhs · Answer

No. Lol. I'm from the country. I've only been in a Chinese restaurant like 4 times in my life.

Hotboy_booblover · Answer

Yes I visited a Japanese restaurant recently and succeeded in eating with chopsticks in first attempt.. that too without any prior experience.. I nearly finished the entire meal.. and it was super tasty.. something different than my daily meals.

MrJMM · Answer

Quidthonian · Answer

I used to eat sushi with chop sticks. The concept is not bad.

pleasestopthis · Answer

I can eat sushi rolls with them and no problem, but I guess eating noodles would be a challenge

Xoirwinkan · Answer

I used to when I lived in Asia, but now I just fumble. Besides, I usually eat rather soupy/saucy food.

AkwardGuy · Answer

Sometimes on a good day but sometimes all I can manage is to dance with them damn noodles! I'm hungry, gimme my damn noodles.

Wise4myage · Answer

I can manage alright, but Id do better if I used them more often.

sponge-bob · Answer

Anonymous · Answer

Yes. I was recently in an Asian Fusion restaurant and I requested chopsticks. The waiter asked me if I knew how to use them. WTF. Do you think it was a racial thing? He was Asian

MudRucker · Answer

Nope. Too lazy to learn. Plus how do you eat a nice juicy steak with chopsticks? They are a bit impractical.

just_a_potato · Answer
