Yes, and generally I prefer them to most silverware.

We were complaining at dinner the other night in a fancy "Vietnamese Fusion" restaurant because the place setting included cheap plastic chopsticks. The one time chopsticks frustrate me is when they are made out of slick plastic - as in imitation ivory. Everything slides off those. The few pairs I have that are plastic are at least textured on the bottom third so that they are functional.

I can... O_O mostly. X'D
But eating sliced bananas with chopsticks is SO impossible!

Yeah, I can. I learned a couple of years ago at school but if I use them for long periods of time it gives me cramp in my hand >.<

My neighbors are flight attendants on the Tokyo-Dallas run so every once in a while I get restocked with the disposable ones. They are great for keeping a supply in the car, just in case.

Anybody seen the sleek aluminum ones on JBox that come with the aluminum bento? I love the design, but I'm not so sure whether I would like using them.
