| Chopstick sleeves from various restaurants 1979 - 1980 |
Japanese rice is very sticky, so it was much easier to eat with chopsticks; however, eating rice in Thailand or Taiwan with chopsticks was another story.
Have you mastered the skill of eating with chopsticks?
I always give up on chopsticks too soon and ask for a fork. Everyone else in my family has mastered them and prefers them when eating Asian food.
ReplyDeleteI have not, tho I do keep trying :)
ReplyDeleteOnly with the big stuff. LOL
ReplyDeleteThe chopsticks sleeves are very interesting.
strangely yes. Perhaps I can eat with them all the time and it would SLOW down my inhaling of food
ReplyDeleteI have tried but I dropped more than I ate. HA!
ReplyDeleteI like the photo of all the chopstick sleeves; that's a cool way to record where you ate and a little art and advertising.
ReplyDeleteI've tried using chopsticks, with some success, I guess. I didn't go hungry! I haven't tried using them in several years, though.
I have tried but prefer a fork, however, you ought to see my gun packing hubby eat with them:)
ReplyDeleteNo matter how often I've tried chopsticks I have never gotten very good with them. It was OK as long as I used them on large pieces. Granddaughter Sophia has been learning to use them (at 2) because her mom and dad love eating at a local sushi restaurant.
ReplyDeleteInteresting post, Nancy. Neither of us do too well with chopsticks and usually ask for forks. (DH felt somewhat humiliated in Japan at a family dinner where 3 year olds were using them very easily.)
ReplyDeleteMastered? No. But we do practice when we have Chinese take-out at work. The Knight isn't such a good sport, but two of my three co-workers are.
ReplyDeleteNever tried...but it looks complicated:)
