It's been a long time since I last used chopsticks. I remember failing to pick one little piece of chicken with them. Next time, I'd want to do what the woman from that Wowcher.com advert did, just jab my chopsticks into the sushi.

How else does one eat Chinese food? D:

[~Silver Essence~ 2,625]

Partly

 

I do moderately well before managing to slip up as they do require some skill to properly use

 

I mainly use them for sticky type food like orange chicken

[Lordav 3,427]

Depends what you mean by eat with them... If you mean the normal way.... NOPE!

 

 

If STABBING your food with one of the sticks, counts,.. YES

 

[Starlight Fan 538]

Alright everyone, here is an astounding fact:

 

sometimes when I eat spaghetti

i use chopsticks

instead of a fork

 

everyone: *le gasp*

 

 

Anyway, I use chopsticks a lot. 

[Ricebug 555]

I like to use them but I am not the best with them, hey atleast better than my brother that can't help sending sushi at a waitress in a restraunt XD.

[LordSwinton 759]

been using them all my life

[Ziltoid the Omniscient 286]

Yes. And it's how I prefer to eat at any oriental restaurant

[Manman20x6 359]

Whenever I'm eating at an Asian restaurant, I will always use chopsticks. I have no problem with them, maybe it's because I'm Asian myself which makes me naturally more skilled /s.

 

Of course I normally find it easier to use western utensils, but it's more fun and challenging to eat with chopsticks. The fact that they're harder to use means that I eat more slowly and get to enjoy the meal more.

I can eat with chopsticks, but once i get the hang of them, I never use them for 6 months and when I get chopsticks again, I've forgotten how to use them

[EddG 554]

I use chopsticks for eating Instant Ramen, Sushi and Stirfry.

[Kapitan zur See Hans (Daz) 883]

I can, but only if it is thick noodles or large pieces of something, anything else and it is up in the air somewhere.

[Blackened 512]

I've never actually tried this myself.

[The Shyest One 808]

I'm Asian, its in the genes.

[Moonbutt 87]

Yes, but I'm not adept at it. Eating rice is still a big challenge to me, but chicken is easy of course.

[KatonRyu 1,033]

I can do it, more or less. My technique looks nothing like how it should be, and I often have to manually adjust the sticks with my off hand, but I don't have to request a fork or something whenever we eat sushi or something. (Not that I eat sushi, I order tonkatsu)

[Midnight Solace 5,132]

I have tried using my wings as fingers like most humans do, but it just gets really hard and confusing. I feel like they were only made for Unicorns. 

[Lucky Bolt 35,063]

Nope.  I'm too American. I only know how to eat with a spoon or fork....or my hands. I tried chopsticks before and I ended up losing my temper....so yeah, no.

The only thing I have a hard time eating is rice with chop sticks, I pretty much have to shovel the rice in my mouth like Goku or someone.

 

[Phosphor 11,528]

Sure, if I stab a piece of meat with it. Otherwise, nope!  

[GiFTGewEhrSCHutzen-4 8,828]

Well, if it's ramen noodles, sushi, or eating some dimsums, yup! I eat them with chopsticks!

[TBD 17,254]

Yes but only for the noodles. 

[Dreambiscuit 9,691]

I finally figured out how to use them; all I had to do was ignore all the instruction I've received over the years. I finally just picked them up and did what felt natural and it worked. They wouldn't be my go-to method of downing my victuals but they can be fun for the novelty of it.

Went to Japan and wife and myself were in a restaurant in Yokohama and on the table beside us is another couple. The girl is paying attention to us and her bf is trying to ignore what the gf is doing. Eventually we asked and she was looking at our chopstick "skills", she then took some time to enlighten us.

A couple of days later we were with my Japanese friend and his family. We realised he was being told off by his mother and we asked why. She was upset with him for his bad and lazy chopstick skills in front of the foreigners who were using them properly
