Random - Are you good at holding chopsticks? I suck at it 😞 (46 replies).

Yes. I use it regularly when eating Asian food - from noodles to fried rice.

Yes, very good. I use them for every kind of food. Not just Asian food

I can manage.

If I try to eat with chopsticks, I better get close to the table. Food will end up in unintended places.

bijouxbroussard · F

Yes. Growing up in San Francisco it was a badge of honor to be able to use them without being laughed at while eating in Chinatown and JapanTown.

SilverF0x · 51-55, M

I’m going to Japan in few weeks. Have been working on my skills but still suck at it. I gotta up my game pronto

FreeSpirit1 · 51-55, F

I learned but prefer the fork...lol

Random kid to me in restaurant: how can you do this with your left hand?

Got all the training I needed watching Karate Kid.

Holden · 31-35, M

Yeah, but it takes practice. Practice grabbing random objects with them before your food arrives. That's how I taught some friends to use chopsticks.

Yes, I managed them perfectly at a business luncheon yesterday, but then this morning using a spoon spilled a big glob of oatmeal on myself 😅🤷

i do sometimes wonder why the pieces of sushi are so big. Often really too big to put into your mouth whole.

4thdimensiondream · 70-79, M

I can’t do it. I watch my daughter using and I’m like she didn’t get that from me. I can’t play drums either!

NerdyPotato ·

I just realized you didn't ask about eating with them. I can hold them just fine. 😌

Kiesel · 56-60, M

Absolutely not….
I’ve never been able to perfect it!

Degbeme · 70-79, M

Just use one to stab your food. That`s what I do. 😬

Softy1 · M

I can’t use them efficiently

Adroneandastrain · 46-50, MNew

Me too .....:) Thankfully i've not had many chances for being humiliated from this handicap in my uneventful life.

TrunkZ · 61-69, M

Depends on the day. Some days I can pick up single grains of rice and other days I have trouble with even the larger things

Unefilletrescurieuse · F

I have to work really hard at it and usually just give up and grab the fork. 😅

hunkalove · 70-79, M

I can do it but I'd rather not. I prefer to pay attention to what I'm eating than to what I'm eating it with.

Ferric67 · M

I like using chopsticks, it makes me feel as if I’m playing with my food

SpectralMourning · 46-50, M

No good, but I can manage well enough to pick the stuff up. It just looks klutzy when I'm doing it.

NerdyPotato ·

Nope, they never listen to my fingers 😒

WormMan · 56-60, M

Not at all 🍜

RebelRaven · 51-55, F

Yes ☺

JustEd · 41-45, M

Zonuss · 46-50, M

No. I never use those.

Shayama · FVIP
