I eat with chopsticks the majority of the time, almost always with rice and dishes that go along with it.

i have a pair at home that i use for most everything ... even have a different pair for cooking ...

though i do need a new pair for when i eat out ... my last set got broken ... and i hate asking for 2 or 3 sets of the disposable ones to get one pair that isn't warped or splintered.

my aunt put chopsticks into my hand when i was barely 3, it wasn't till i went to school that i actually used a fork and such ... to this day i still prefer chopsticks no matter where i am eating ...

Oh yeah, I have this special pair of chopsticks I like to use that are black and have the Chinese character for "longevity" in cool, gold writing on the tops of both XD

I'm half asian, so I grew up using them. The weird thing is when I'm out with a group of asian friends I mess up! I wonder why I have that problem... ;(

I've been using chopsticks for the majority of my life, so I can call myself an EXPERT!

Lift the bowl up and scrape the rice into your mouth with chopsticks.
Duh. or use a spoon.

I can use chopsticks, can't hold the correct way though, even though i'm chinese, I just have my own way of holding them. I get by perfectly fine though.
