Has anyone ever used chopsticks to eat with?
 
I was just watching the Expedia 'All By Myself' commercial with the androgynous helpful person and they were of course using chopsticks to eat their chop suey. IRL I've never seen anyone use anything but regular utensils to consume their Chinese food. Is this some kind of haughty NYC/Hollywood thing or what? :confused5:

Always with sashimi. Use fingers with nigiri.

My son and his wife always eat oriental food using chopsticks.(he is quite good) We go to restaurants with them often. I never tried sticks and doubt that I ever will.

Obviously.

I’ve been in small restaurants in Japan where you were SOL if you couldn’t use them.

I've been using them for decades when I eat Chinese, or Japanese food. Great for Sushi and Sashimi.

No, but I don't live in one of the haughty hotspots either.

NEED-A-VETTE 07-01-2021 2:52pm

All the time. Pho, ramen, sushi, etc.

no chopsticks for me.

Hand me a pair and I'd whip out my
knife, sharpen the ends, and stab at my food.

Good, we show no such chopstick pretentiousness here in the Midwest. :seasix:

Sushi/sashimi, but not Chinese food.

Try that with noodles. Let us know how it goes. :rofl:

99 pewtercoupe 07-01-2021 3:22pm

I am not really adept with them but will use them for sushi and noodle dishes

Rodnok1 07-01-2021 3:26pm

Hell I don't even use a fork or spoon most of the time.. Go caveman. :dance:
