Can you use chopsticks?

Question

I absolutely suck at using them which is a shame because I love Asian cuisine. Always so awkward going to a restaurant and asking for a fork 🤣

Kpersaud2 · Accepted Answer

Yes I can.

Everyone is different and using chopsticks can be a fun learning experience!

I taught my ex how to use them on sushi dates, i laughed WITH her at her struggles but never laughed AT her. We had a good time together and eventually she learned and we were eating ramen at home together with chopsticks.

Nothing wrong with using forks as restaurants for Asian cuisine, not everyone can use chopsticks as easily.

Food is good either way 🤷‍♂️

Let's honestly say I'm able to use chopsticks with much difficulties, which means I will still always ask for a fork and knife, whatever people may think of me in whatever Asian restaurant or even with Chinese friends. I love Asian cooking, and the content of the dish seems more important to me than the chopsticks ;0)

Yes I can but I prefer fork, spoon, knife, clean tablecloth and table manners while eating

Kabluie · Answer

Yes, even since I was a kid and learned the rubber band way. There is a Vietnamese restaurant in the city I like to go every few weeks, you would have to ask for a fork if you wanted one for Pho, which I'm not sure why you'd even use a fork.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

I'm used to using them. However: you could either order a soup, or cheat:

Knew how to use them before I could use a fork lmfao

petitedollbabee · Answer

Nope, I’m hopeless with them. I always resort to either a fork or my hands if it’s something solid like sushi.

Sour-rose · Answer

Seeing as one provided the instructions to do it... yeah :) it was easy.

wolfcat87 · Answer

Yes, they are easy to use. I learned as a kid after reading about them in a book. I practiced with pencils at first. When I finally got to use them later it was not a problem. So, I use them often when they are available.

DryGermanGuy · Answer

I'd rather throw some shuriken at the wall, but yeah, for my sushi/tempura I can use them.

NathanDavis · Answer

Pudsmucker · Answer

I prefer using a fork or a spoon when I eat. Chopsticks are fun to use, but when I'm hungry I'm going to sit and have it a good dish of Cantonese with a fork.
