The first time I remember using chopsticks was in a chinese restaurant in Acapulco, Mexico. I think I was 12. Only I already new how to use them at that point. Don't know where I picked them up the first time.

Western food in general is sometimes ill suited for chopsticks, but lately I find them much better for salads than forks. It seems restaurants no longer care to make the lettuce bite size and the dull pointed fork tines won't skewer anything but the ribs in the leaves.
