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

@Degbeme I definitely need those for rice!
Nob0dy · 26-30, F
@CookieCrumbs lucky!
@Nob0dy
If you really want to learn it, you should practice it at home while you have all the time to eat slowly.

It’s more difficult to practice when seated at a restaurant. 😊

Yes I can. 🙂👍 🥢

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

@Sapio your pic reminds me of this guy [media=https://instagram.com/DZxwBBgPaFi]
Sidewinder · 36-40, M

Yes I am.
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.
I am. I've had a lot of practice.
I been practicing
JimboSaturn · 56-60, M
I can manage.
Softandsweet2 · 36-40, F
If I try to eat with chopsticks, I better get close to the table. Food will end up in unintended places.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@Softandsweet2 it takes a little practice, and you can get the waiter to make them more user friendly with a rubber band and a filler paper.

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
Nob0dy · 26-30, F
@SilverF0x you got this!
SilverF0x · 51-55, M
@Nob0dy Those darn noodles can be slippery 😀 But I’ll get there
SilverF0x · 51-55, M
@Nob0dy Had penne pasta with rosé sauce with chopsticks for dinner today. Took some time but not as long as I expected. Practice makes perfect
FreeSpirit1 · 51-55, F
I learned but prefer the fork...lol
@FreeSpirit1 I sometimes do, as well. Or, a spoon.
fun4us2b · M
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 😅🤷

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.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
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!
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!

Just use one to stab your food. That`s what I do. 😬
Softy1 · M
I can’t use them efficiently
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
If you count stabbing the food with the pointy end being good with chopsticks
DrWatson · 70-79, M
@Justmeraeagain

According to "The Book of Tea" (which is about Chinese culture in general, not just about tea) the earliest known use of chopsticks was in fact to spear a piece of meat in order to hold it over a fire to roast it.

So, you can consider yourself to be performing historical reenactments!
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@DrWatson I'm going to use that
DrWatson · 70-79, M
When I was in college, my roommates and I accompanied a group of guys who were regulars at a certain restaurant in Boston's Chinatown.

The waiter asked each of us whether we wanted chopsticks. I had never used them before, and I was about to answer "no", but the "experienced" crowd urged us newbies to try them. So I did , as did my roommates.

What I did not expect was that when I answered "yes", the waiter would take my fork away!

It was a long meal.

But since then, I have gotten good with them. I now consider them routine to use, and eating Asian food with a fork just feels odd to me. The feel of metal in my mouth with lo mein is just wrong! 😄
Adroneandastrain · 46-50, M
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
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.
Nope, they never listen to my fingers 😒
WormMan · 56-60, M
Not at all 🍜

Nob0dy · 26-30, F
@RebelRaven definitely a life accompliment lol
Zonuss · 46-50, M
No. I never use those.
candycane · 36-40, F
