Why Chopsticks? -
11-27-2007, 02:20 PM
I am not trying to make fun or anything but why do Japanese, Koreans and others use chopsticks? isn't it much easier to just take a spoon or fork and eat their food? I know this may sound a bit stupid
 but i am just curious why.I just heard before that eating using chopsticks improves your concentration power, is that true? and are there any other benefits of using chopsticks?

It may be easier for you, but not them.
:/ - There's a story that Confucius started the idea, because he thought the knives and forks of then were too violent...

I think it´s just tradition for them to use chopsticks and japan is a very traditional country^^ but for the reasen that using chopsticks increasing your concentration i´ve never heared, but it could be possible cause to use a knife and a fork is much easier and if u use chopsticks u have to have a good reaction

Why do other places use spoons and forks? Isn`t it a lot easier to actually have some control over the thing you`re eating than to just stab it or try to scoop it up?

I think it's mainely becouse their food is different. Japanese food for example is very easy to eat, I mean you don't need a knife to eat japanese food becouse (in most cases) you don't even need to cut it. Also from what I know they don't like to cut or pierce food as they believe it ruins the taste (like with sushi for example, I can't imagine eating it with fork).

I'm a finger food type person.....but I've tried the chopsticks I still haven't mastered it yet......but it does take a hell of a lot more effort than I thought.....but I'm almost there.....I can actually hold my food in 'em without dropping it.......but that's only cuz it's the bigger sized food....my next goal is smaller foods....^_^ like they say
if at first you don't succeed, try and try again. ^_^  Property of Eiri & Pexster Virtual Boyfriend...Hyakushi in *Indian suit*  Eiri - 41 : Rojjin -43 : Sly - 121 : Yuna7780 - 57 : reihino - 14 : Crani - 22 : Ramones1976 - 0 : AnimeBaby112 - 3 : Arikado - 1 : KikiBunny23 - 3 : Pexter -0

They use chopsticks because that is what their ancestors used to eat with. Also, it is easier to some foods with chopsticks intead of using a spoon or fork.
