im a whitey and when i was learning from my vietnamese friends how to use them i asked the same question. and what told me was that for the most part it may be a little harder to use chopstix then a fork. but its more about the style of it. if you look at it some times it can be kind of crude to sit there and stab things with a fork, and cut through things with a knife (asian food is usually cooked w/ smaller pieces) and i guess for the most part that makes some sense to me. i really enjoy using stix when im eating any type of asain food. although i still cant stand to use them for the most part when eating rice.
Has Yao been to Timmy Chans? Paul Wall likes it: http://www.askmen.com/toys/interview_150/191_paul_wall_interview.html Paul Wall's favorite place to chow down is Timmy Chan's in Houston, Texas. He claims it has the finest chicken the world has to offer.
the only good thing about this post season was that sam cassell led the clippers out of the gutter into the playoffs and showed off that Sam I Am crafty skill and leadership that we know and love.
hmm i used chopsticks wrong for the longest time, i corrected when i went back to taiwan last year. i could always function with it, i just learned the "correct" way last year though.
it's funny to me whenever i see an oriental use a fork to eat noodles or vermicelli. it looks so awkward.
The Chinese use chopsticks because they eat with plenty of dishes that can be far and away on the table. In those cases it's awkward to use forks.
nah. the only reason they use it is because they are born with it. they didn't invent forks to begin with. otoh, the whites didn't invent the chopsticks. just because of that, i can see the funny side of seeing a white guys using chopsticks while his asian g/f waving folk and knife.
Good.....Chopsticks weigh less then forks. That means less weight, pressure for T-Mac's back to support. In other news, Ben Roethlisberger is learning how to eat his food through a straw....
