Do you use chopsticks? If so why? nt

For the laugh!

Tried it in a restaurant in Chinatown, but not a common occurence. It's when you see on TV programmes people having a takeaway and eat with chopsticks! Does anyone really do that?

Why? Are you suggesting a boycott of chopsticks due to China's involvement in Burma?

 

Not quite.

I was thinking of introducing the fork to the far East. I have an idea for a TV campaign featuring Chinese people who don't have hump backs food stains all down their fronts.

 

Yes

Not generally at home, (unless eating ramen or doll noodles or similar) but when out for a chinese meal then chopsticks and bowl are the way to eat chinese food. Stick the bowl under your chin, grab a bit of crispy pork with chopsticks, into the bowl, shovel into face with chopsticks. Simple, easy, efficient.

 

RE: Yes

Presumably you don't do this when trying to impress a girl?</p>

 

Perhaps you could also introduce

the concept of tissues, alongside an advert of someone who has just stepped intoa plie ofgob while walking on the street. The Chinese are practised hoikers.</p>

 

I'm married

Impressing girls is a thing of the distant past.

When I was single I don't think I ever used my chopstick fu to ever gain the heart of a sweet maiden. I don't think its a recognised bird pulling technique.

Do you use your forking skills to impress the lasses then?

 

Absolutely. I'm an accomplished forker.

Although I'd rather put wasps in my bottom than eat anything prepeared in a Chinese kitchen.</p>

 

RE: Yes sometimes

When I was refereeing in Sahnghai in 2001 I was taken to Pizza Hut by the chinese interpreter who was working for us she had never used a knife & fork, she tried but could not get the hang of it so asked the waiter for chopsticks and ate her pizza with them!! Try That !!

 

RE: Yes sometimes

Using chopsticks to eat pizza is only marginally more bizarre than using a knife and fork to eat pizza!

 

I find myself constantly amazed...

...by what people get up to in their spare time.

C'est la guerre n'est pas?

 

Good call.

Sporks are the way forward for all food types.

 

it's different

i do it when am in a jap restaurant or summat but not home

 

Yes

It meks mi dinner last all neet

 

Most funniest little thread one has read in ages nt

 

Definatly not and for a good reason

you cant eat as fast with em, so when you go out with work say, and get a chinease buffet, the ones with chopsticks take ages, with a fork i can be on thirds before tham daft buggars have finished their firsts, more for your money

 

Chopsticks.....

Great for getting a sticky bogey out the ol' nostrils... FACT!!

 

Being a greedy chuffer, prone to wolfing my food...

...I took the opportunity of using chopsticks to slow me down a bit. Trouble was I soon learnt to shovel like the best of 'em. It's amazing what you can accomplish when there's food to be had.

The other day I bought a chow mein from a takeaway but when I got back to the car I realised I had no fork or owt. I ended up eating it with a biro (a sort of mono chopstick). I savoured that meal (but yes, I'd become quite proficient at this too by the end).
