I taught myself years ago. Being that I like Asian food, Japanese in particular, I wanted to learn how to eat with them.

Do you know how to use them?

I've tried...I'm too uncoordinated to use chopsticks. :eek: :lol:

Using chopsticks is one of many skills in life I have not mastered. Fortunately I have mastered eating with a fork! :lol:

Is there some sort of rule that all characters on a tv series have to use chopsticks when eating asian food? What the heck is wrong with using a fork? :confused: I tried using chopsticks once but couldn't get the hang of it and they're really only good for one thing anyway. ;)

Nope, and I've also noticed that everyone in movies and tv use chopsticks when eating Asian food. I've never seen it another way.

well being asian myself, yes i do know how to eat with chopsticks!:) explaining it is kind of complicated in itself, as its easier for me to use them but here is how to do it:

No clue here. But since I don't really care for Asian food it's not a big deal. :)

This makes me think of a M*A*S*H episode called The Chosen People, where Captain Pak(Pat Morita) visits the camp.

At one point in the episode, Captain Pak, Henry and Father Mulcahy are eating some sort of Korean food. Both Henry and Father Mulcahy are using chopsticks, while Captain Pak is using a fork :lol:

I never noticed that before. That's hilarious!! :lol:

no I'm too clumsy with them.

Never tried. I love Chinese food so maybe I should.

i like eating with chopsticks, and if you hollow out the one on the left you can use it as a straw!

Heck no! I'm clumsy and could never learn how to eat with chopsticks!

Yes, I have mastered the art of using chopsticks. Actually, when I am dining at an Asian restaurant, I always request chopsticks instead of utensils :snob:

Yeah, I have noticed that myself.

Perhaps it's to emphasize that it's Asian food that they are eating and not something like mac n' cheese in a take-out container.


By the way, when I order Chinese Take-Out they do not bring you chopsticks. Most of the time the Japanese and Vietnamese do but not the Chinese around here.

I got too stick with a fork otherwise I would starve to death.:lol:

Do you know how to use them?I can use them but not well...... I guess my fingers dont work good enough to make them work..... Chopsticks are interesting though.....

How did they ever come to using those?

I made a half hearted attempt long time ago, but no desire to learn. So NO...

Its hard Carole.. Not easy to use.........
