Phoenix98 · Accepted Answer

Yup though I'm probably not as good as someone who's been using them since childhood but I can use them well enough to eat with.

Still-alive · Accepted Answer

I do. self taught ;)

James The Foodie · Accepted Answer

Absolutely, I do! Using chopsticks is like an art form, enhancing the entire dining experience. When I first traveled to Japan, mastering chopsticks felt essential for truly savoring authentic dishes like sushi and ramen. Each meal was a delightful challenge, bringing out different flavors in every bite. The technique allows you to connect with the food in a more intimate way, making it a memorable dining adventure. 🍣🥢

Generally yes, but I have seemed to have lost some dexterity. Getting old, I guess?

PBandJ_Nerd · Answer

Yeah, but my hand cramps sometimes.

Lliam · Answer

Yup. I learned in my early teens.

FreyaRed · Answer

Yes, but I refuse to use them

WhiteSteve · Answer

Lord, no, haha

I don't really like most Asian foods though, other than a few “American” Chinese food items. Pork fried rice, chicken fingers, boneless spare ribs, beef teriyaki sticks (shouldn’t that be Japanese?🤔)…. that’s pretty much the only Asian food I ever eat. Maybe Orange Chicken or General Tso’s Chicken, or beef or chicken with broccoli…. like basic “hood” Chinese restaurant fare, $4.99 special you could eat off of for a couple days, haha.

I HATE sushi with the fire of a thousand suns (I don’t even like COOKED seafood, haha), and I don’t like anything noodle-based. If I eat anything Asian, rice will be the carb. And I’m not sure how good chopsticks are for rice. Outside of American foods (“healthy” foods, like chicken breast, cruciferous vegetables, or salad greens, etc…EW😝), Mexican or Puerto Rican food is what I primarily eat, and I can’t really eat rice and beans with chopsticks, lmao, so there’s just no real cause for me to learn

exitseven · Answer

Cormac995 · Answer

Yes, that and blowing smoke rings are basically the closest things I have to party tricks. I'm actually really good with chopsticks and eat with them often and use them in cooking too. I don't blow smoke rings anymore though because I quit vaping and cigs for about 3 years now.

Tarifa · Answer

Yes. Been to Japan, there wasn't much of an alternative. The trick is to have one stick that rests on the space between your thumb and index finger and which should stay static. You just move the other one, the one that is further away from your body. Only if there are a lot of tiny bits to pick up can it become a bit tiresome at the end.

Shiprex · Answer

Yes
It's actually a smart way to cut down on calorific intake. The mouthfuls consumed are smaller, the time between each one is longer and gives more time for chewing and eating. I also think it has a lot to do with the effort of collecting, balancing and moving the food being more difficult.
However, soup is a bit difficult but after living in Asia for a while I found that spoons aren't always necessary when you can lift the bowl and drink directly from it.

D_Bone_Steak · Answer

I lived in Japan for over 10 years. Boku ha nihongo no ga dekiru dayo. Dakara boku no chinko game ii desu yo.  I can do way more than just use my fingers on some chopsticks.

NathanDavis · Answer

yes, I do... I was always curious about them, so I would make my own as a kid, and a teen... and that's how I learned to use them, lmfao...

later in life, I got to use actual ones too, the proper way and all that

Anonymous · Answer

I've tried but I can't use them

When I go to Asian restaurants I ask for a fork.

A fork you can hold more food onto it and the fork keeps. your food more stable.

Rather than using chopsticks a tiny bit at a time.

And it's hard to pick up rice.

My wife was born and raised in China, she came to the US when she was 27 years old, and she still uses chopsticks routinely. I have learned to use them with some proficiency.
