OMG! It feels weird to go from chopsticks to fork.......I've been eating with chopsticks for the past two months and I tried a fork......OMG I felt awkward eating with a fork.

Personally, I find eating several foods easier with chopsticks. For ramen and rice chopsticks a must, I would struggle to eat those things with a fork or spoon.

you have to use chop sticks because you look stupid eating sushi with a fork
|
A lot of food is easier to eat that way. Sushi with a fork? Naaaaahhh. Once you get used to it you may actually start to prefer them over other utensils. I do at least.

Wait... who said we don't use spoons??
How would we eat soup? lolll Well I'm pretty sure that before asians even realized what a fork was, they thought of chopsticks. It's like the most simplistic of eating utensils, but of course it's much harder to use them than forks because a fork is a more complicated made utensil which leads to a easier use of it. Well thats my theory anyway... as for confucious and all that, i don't know. I just know that Chinese used it first then korea and japan. I can't use chopsticks correctly xP so when I go eat with my grandparents who are traditional, they smack me in the head T_T but trying to use it the right way is really hard for me cuz im used to the way i hold them. either way, i eat with chopsticks most of the time, the only time i dont is at american restaurants. when i get lazy though i just use one stick and poke the food xD HA (ps, koreans use metal chopsticks [well i dont lol] and it is freaking hard!) |
Um... for the same reason we use forks and spoons. That's the way they were raised, it's the way their parents ate and taught them to eat. I'm sure sometimes they wonder why we eat with forks and spoons :P

For a lot of people and where they grow up, it's also by preference. Most Asians grow up on chop sticks. It's not like we don't use other utensils, it really also depends on the food. And since most Asian cultures use chop sticks as a main utensil, much food is also centered around its usability.
I get lazy sometimes but most of the time, I'll use chop sticks for almost everything I eat. |
