In between this and fork/knife, spork, fork, spoon, and hands, this is by far the worst piece of cutlery designed ever.>inb4, "oh you just don't know how to use it properly"I know.
Git gud, noob.
>>21605205They allow you to manipulate food with more precision, that's about it, a fork is superior in about every way and I eat ramen with a fork at home. I only learned to use chopsticks so I don't look like a pillock eating out with friends lol.
>>21605213Fork is way more efficient but the chopstick/slurp the broth combo just feels right for noodles.
>>21605212
>>21605215Why can't you slurp while using a fork? Who stopped you?
i personally dont like to use them BUT one time i worked in a sushi restaurant. The owners were a thai couple. Sometimes and wife would work the fry station....using chopsticks. I dont think she every actually touched anything with her bare hands. It blew my fucking mind what she was able to do with them. I guess if you grow up using them its no biggie.
>>21605263What did she touch?
>>21605263Thai people use forks and spoons, not chopsticks
>>21605266My cock
>>21605213Forks are harder to wash as stuff can get caked in the crevices
At home I use a fork for ramen but if I go out to a ramen or sushi place I have a pair of dipshit kids chopsticks because using a fork in places like that doesn't sit right with me.
>>21605205It's objectively the best utensil for delicate solids that do fit in a spoon and can't be pierced with a fork without destroying them, like sushi or chips. I use them for cocoa covered marzipan potatoes i often make.
>>21605827You're an absolute fucking retard
>>21605843You're not ready for this conversation, too culturally conditioned, quite literally an NPC.
>>21605944Yes sorry I'm a NPC, because I don't eat chips with chopsticks or make marzipan potatoes. Sorry, I'll join in. I eat peanuts with chopsticks, it stops me shovelling handfuls in my mouth lol. I also use them for my deep fried caramel celery with strawberry coulis, it stops my fingers from getting sticky lol
>>21605956>I eat peanuts with chopsticks, it stops me shovelling handfuls in my mouth lolMany fat people would unironically benefit from this, gastric bypass works on the same principle more or less. People not suffering from a severe will deficiency wouldn't benefit at all, though.>I also use them for my deep fried caramel celery with strawberry coulis, it stops my fingers from getting sticky lolYou can stab celery with a fork just fine without ruining it just fine, unlike sushi or chips.Your poor analogies aren't helping the NPC allegations.
>>21605964You can't stab your marzipan potatoes? Is that correct? Also, if you have to use cutlery to pick up your chips (mentally ill) are you saying that you aren't dexterous enough to pick them up between the prongs of your fork?
>>21605205I only use them when snacking at the computer, i tried eating ramen with them and i just took too long and i dont like to slurp. Fork + spoon is way better, you can twirl some noodles around the fork and then use the spoon to add toppings to each bite
chopsticks stimulate a certain part of the brain that a fork/spoon does not.westerners wouldn't understand, obviously.
>>21605219How much copium did the fag that edited this huff?
>>21605205What people don't realize is Japanese chopsticks are superior because the way they taper at the tip. Being more narrow than Korean or Chinese chopsticks that have thicker tips, this allows more precision in grabbing minute pieces of food.
> be Asian> entire diet consists of rice> eat it with a stick...
>>21607550Go back to Facebook grandpa
>>21605205I like eating noodles with them but yeah I don't see why you choose this to eat rice dishes
