Didn't know that Japanese sticks were shorted. Wonder how that came about

I have about 12 pairs of sticks. Should you be tempted, don't try to eat fried eggs and bacon with chop sticks, it is hard work!

I remember seeing Chinese people eating corn flakes with chopsticks, that looked like hard work too!

I do have a pair... fancy ones at that... but I don't use them anymore. To me, chopsticks are not sensible. Chapsticks, on the other hand...

Chapsticks make my lips feel all weird. But if I found the perfect flavor...

My daddy got some beautiful chopsticks in Japan back in the 60's. He gave them to my son.

I do not have any in my house but I do know how to use them. Well it has been quite a few years since I have used them but I'm pretty sure I can still us them.

It's fun to eat with chop sticks. It makes the experience last longer.

You obviously need more practice! And hold the bowl closer to your mouth, many Chinese people do that : )

@WorDazza You know that eating more slowly and chewing each mouthful more is a simple but effective way to avoid getting overly lardy?

@Fleura I've noticed that does seem to be the modus operandi for successful chopstick use. I find that holding the bowl close to the mouth and using a fork maximises my intake.

We don't have chopsticks. Neither of us have any expertise in using them so it seems pointless to have any. Although we could always practise I guess.

@TheHorse it's use more than spoon and fork because lots of Chinese stay here and noodle is the 2nd carbs we eat after rice.

Indians don't use chopsticks. But I have a few. My elder daughter and husband use them very frequently. But for me and younger one, we tried few times and then failed.
