if you happen to be one of those fools who insists on using chopsticks every time you eat at a chinese place......please explain why you choose the chopsticks over the fork.....you and i both know damn well they arent easier to use....otherwise you would buy a whole bunch of chopsticks and use them every time you eat anything....we are all impressed that youve learned how to pick up a clump of rice using two sticks....but its really not a huge accomplishment....
then you have the people that only use chopsticks with sushi...like its part of the ritual...fyi sushi is not cool anymore and eating it with chopsticks is even worse
in short
youre american
use a fork
forks = GOAT

How about you go join the Anti-Chopstick Coalition or something?
Chopsticks are just a different way to eat. Like using a straw instead of drinking straight out of a cup. Anyone who associates chopsticks, or any other utensil as cool/uncool/some-sort-of-pretentious-statement is a farging moron.
its not even close to the same thing
a better comparison would be drinking out of a straw with a hole in it or straight out of a glass
its not any more difficult to drink with a straw than it is straight out the cup
whereas its much more difficult to chopstick than fork
face it...sushi eating wanna be seen preppy gays use chopsticks...thats it

I can actually feel my intelligence being sapped by this thread...
people do a lot of stupid things because they think it makes them look cool....chopsticks are somewhere on that list but well below drinking horrible-tasting microbrews.
says who?
two year olds....epileptics and pretty much every human on the planet that can use a fork....i know 30 year olds who cant use chopsticks
and even if youre a chopstick pro it may be easy for you to use them but in no way is it ever easier than a fork...plus you were born and raised to eat with a fork...its what americans do
Nothing to do this morning, IGY?
chopsticks are somewhere on that list but well below drinking horrible-tasting microbrews
this is true...but at least there are some people...however few....out there who really do prefer the taste of microbrews...with chopsticks i have yet to hear a real reason why you would use them over a fork...there just isnt one
I use chopsticks when I eat sushi. I don't use them when I eat chicken nuggets or a baked potato.
If that makes me a nerd (as if posting on an internet bulletin board wouldn't) then so be it.

....give me one good reason to use a chopstick over a fork other than to be 'cool'
The few times I have tried chopstcks it was because I felt like it.
Good enough reason for me.
I answered because I felt like it.
There can not possibly be any good reason for me to waste any more time with a chopstick thread.
i use chopsticks when i eat sushi only because thats what they give you and i'm too lazy and/or hungry to ask for a fork.
same thing with soup, i use a spoon because thats what they give me, if they gave me a knife with soup, i'd probably find i way to eat using it.
i use chopsticks to drink beer. because i like the taste. of both.

Only time I'll use chopsticks is when I'm eating sushi. I tried using a fork once but the sushi rolls kept splitting and making a mess. It's more practical to squeeze the rolls from the side, dip it, then eat it, then it is to shove a fork through it and make a mess. So there's your answer.
If you eat sushi with a fork, you should be dragged out of the restaurant and have the fork shoved up your ass.

Sushi is meant to be eaten with your hands if you're in an Asian culture, the American version uses chopsticks because they're more convenient (not to mention our table manors and eating etiquette standards are much lower) . I used to think the same way as you, would never try sushi because I thought it was for hoidy toidy people who lived in LA. An old girlfriend who we'll just say was crazy offered to take me out for some, I tried it and loved it.
...unless, of course, one just feels like using chopsticks as a change of pace. Sort of like the same reason someone might want to ride a motorcycle instead of a car, or have sex in a different position.

i don't care about chopsticks, but when i see someone swirling pasta in a spoon, i want to bite their cheeks.
the reason people go out to eat is for the experience, a small sample of culture (other than something like tgi fridays and the like), and atmosphere.
chopsticks, sometimes are part of all three of those things. you don't have to use them. but to take the stance like that is retarded. you don't want to use chopsticks? fine. put them down and shut up about it.

however, i dont blast people that don't use a spoon. nor do i care what other opinions are about spoons, or chopsticks, or swirly straws, or any other eating or drinking untensils. that some people are just too stubborn to think that anyone can be any different than themselves.

normal pizza. true.
the really thick chicago deep dish stuff needs a knife and fork.
For me chop sticks add to the experiance but I only use them if food that is authentic. I would never use them for the crap that is American Chinese food. Having been to many countries that prefer chopsticks I am pretty good with them and like to use them.
Am I pretentious? Of course I am. This is my 1078th post on an Internet chat board after all.
I also use a spoon.... cause it'll hurt more...
I have to take exception with one point made here...
Not all people who eat pizza with a knife and fork should be killed or should die a horribly misfiguring, agonizing fate.

I don't eat sushi, but when I have Chinese food I'll dump it all in a skill crane. Then I'll hand some kid a roll of quarters so he can play the crane to get the food into my mouth. Once I have my head in the machine the kid usually punches me in the balls while he's got the roll of quarters in his fist. Thenhe takes off and I get my head stuck in there and have to wait for the fire department to get me out.
Whoa. That might cross the line from "funny fake gay" to "a little close to too real gay".
When I find that little bastich I'm gonna get my quarters back.
What's a skill crane? Is it a gay robot bird?
i eat other foods by getting a bird to chew it up, and then spit it back into my mouth. the bird is female, so it's not gay.

Don't knock Mongolian BBQ. It's the shtein. You get a big bowl, and add meat (beef, pork, chicken, shrimp), vegetables, sauces (BBQ, white wine, soy sauce, etc.), and things like minced garlic, sesame seeds, and spices, and give it to a cook, who cooks it all up together. You can put it on rice, or whatever you want. If done right, the stuff is awesome. Plus, it's usually not too expensive.
To get the entire Mongol horde experience, some places encourage customers to kill or maim other patrons, and use their bones in place of chopsticks. However, if you are a pretentious Nancy, you can use a fork or a knife though.
