No and I refuse to learn. Our civilization has advanced far enough to start using better invented tools for eating food--spoons and forks.

Indeed. Then again, anything is probably better than using fingers.

I'm fairly certain that the use of forks and spoons is a custom as old, if not older, than using chopsticks.

And yes, I know how to use them.

use to live in singapore so it was great to brush up on useing chop sticks love them can be just a quick eating with them as it ia with a knife and fork

 

[wonderwort]

Ha, so you should be skilled enough to eat a cadbury's creme egg with them?? hmm, hmm?

I can pick up a quarter lying flat on the table with chopsticks.

 

[Beachguyj]

I can pick up a donut with chopsticks.

Actually with only 1.

I am a chinese, so yea, to a certain extent thou. I seems to have problem dealing things like mushroom covered in sauce.

 

[Puddle]

I can stab stuff. That's about it. If it can't be stabbed, then there better be a spoon nearby...

Apparently I'm the only one in my immediate family that can't use chopsticks. Yeah, still working on the whole "being Asian" thing. Well, not really...

If you can eat with both chopsticks and a fork/knife, then there will never be a dish you'll need to use your hands for.

I usually prefer to eat food with its natural implements, be that fingers, chopsticks, fork, skewer or molecular gastronomy pedestal (etc).

It adds to the pleasure I take in eating.

Many Chinese dishes are consumed by holding the bowl up to the face thereby making it easy to "eat with" chopsticks. Doesn't make sense otherwise.

 

[Aymotin]

I eat most of my food with chopsticks. Will move to China in the future.

First utilized by the romans, at least for the fork. Spoons are way older, monkeys use spoons.

Eating with chopsticks needs more "advancement" in cuisine, since it needs the food to be ready-to-eat when served, not letting the eater do all the cutting and ripping and piercing.

There goes your advancement

 

[nfgrls]

[palbert]

No, but I would like the circumstance and diligence to learn.

 

[Magic-]

No, I can't even pick anything up with them

 

[geloge]

Yes, and I try to use them always I'm eating East Asia food.

 

[star-warrior]

I use chopsticks to pick thing up that are hard to get at.

 

[TheOscar]

No. But I really want to learn! It's just hard. XD I don't know why, but I cannot ever seem to properly hold them even after an explanation. Or I'll suck at it....
