do you know how to use chopsticks?
i don't
shareI attempted to use them in a Chinese restaurant with friends and they just laughed and told the waitress to give me a fork.
It's time for me to make another effort to learn.

No, and I don't understand why anyone bothers to use them. For that matter, I don't understand why they ever existed in the first place. Was there really a time when no one had yet thought of creating a fork or spoon? I get that it takes more effort to make a fork or spoon than it does to make a pair of sticks, but you don't exactly need to be Leonardo da Vinci or Nikola Tesla to come up with the idea.
shareYeah. It's a little clumsy at first, but with practice it gets quite easy after a while. I mostly eat noodles and sushi with them, or strongly flavoured snacks like potato chips if I wanna avoid grubby fingers. I don't eat regular rice using them, for me that's like trying to eat cereal one piece at a time, but it makes sense for glutinous rice types, since those clump together.
shareI'm not good at them and won't embarrass myself, so I use a fork.. I'm taking my friend Carol to lunch at Noon to our favorite place "Pad Thai" and have some Red Curry and Rice and some Thai Chicken Wings with Spice level #4 out of 5
shareForks have been invented thousands of years, also the alphabet
shareYes. I learned how at about age 10 and can manage quite well with them. Was taught to me by an Irish woman!
