Do you use them ever?

I started using them recently, however it's a cheap pair that strips strands of wood from the chinese restruant. Castro has some quality ones I could have, I need to get around to that.

Anyways, I have it down except that my pinky likes to pend inwards while doing it and then causes me extreme pain in my hand. Damn you pinky! (narf)

Last time I used chop sticks was in third grade...

I always, always fail at using chop sticks, despite my mom being incredibly Asian. :<

I'm just that... white, I guess.

I don't use chopsticks, mainly because I can't use them properly. D:

I've tried using them before, but I could never pick up the food with them. :/

You're....never supposed to do that D: I actually wonder how many people know the do's and don'ts about chopstick etiquette...the kind of stuff that could get you in some social hot-water in an Asian country Yeah I use chopsticks a lot, but only if I'm eating food that it is meant for.......I will not eat a cookie with chopsticks, for example

Wikipedia helped me with that the other night, but I knew most of it anyways. However, there's apparently some ways to lay your sticks down that are considered wrong which is kind of mind blowing. Holy shit, you crossed your chop sticks? OBVIOUSLY YOU WANT TO KILL ME!

Eh...every country's got their share of "weird" offensive gestures and rules of etiquette. Why is it that pointing your middle finger at the wrong person here might get you killed? It's just a finger...

(though it does seem like Japan has a crapload more obscure rules than we do )

I used to eat with chopsticks a lot... Even things one normally wouldn't/shouldn't. Namely chicken wings.

Remember there's always that case of having twelve different forks at a given time with some cultures. Mostly in the high-class areas.

This one? [shakes head]

I can use them, but I usualy don't use them. :/

I also can't eat rice with them, I just suck at it. ._.

I always knew stabbing the food was considered wrong, but not many of these other rules.

Rediculously formal rules in our western culture are worse though. I thought there were 13 forks, 12 for you, 1 for the cheese... Salad... Entree... can't remember the rest. Soup spoons, desert spoons... a multitude of knives... and I've heard of 15+ courses.

Well, yeah. You can't have the remnants of one course left on the fork spoiling the delicate flavors of the next course...

...hell, I don't know. Rich people are stupid.
