More practical to eat with, less practical to make

Why can't journalists write their own articles?
Why are you even in this field if you don't like the writing process? There are plenty of other jobs you could have.

Depends on what you're eating really.

Depends on what you're eating. For things that are already bite sized, chopsticks work well, but so do forks. I've heard that, in some Asian countries, they don't stick the chopsticks in their mouths, do they can use them to grab from communal plates, but I don't know that for a fact (and it's probably not true is I had to make a guess).

I like eating with chopsticks for the novelty.

More like poo race. What kind of barbarian eats mushy food with their hands?

>>10635051
first post, most sensible post

> tries to eat food with a pair of wooden needle dicks.

Wonder why they had a communist system for so long

i generally prefer chopsticks and spoons but it defends on the food

>>10635043
If everything is solid, I'll use chopsticks. If there's a lot of sauce/liquid a spoon. Spaghetti and non sticky rice with a fork.

>>10637323
Explain japan then. Chopsticks are versatile and rather easy to use once you get used to it, only missing ability to drink soup but most asian soups are slurped straight from the bowl.

>>10636931
you wrap it in bread pleb

>>10636931
Well, 'murricans were scared of forks and they weren't in general use until the late 19th century, so they ate with their hands. Meanwhile, asian peasants had been eating with chopstick utensils for, oh, 1000 years+. Fucking wh*pippo barbarians.

>>10635043
Western cutlery is all unitask shit.

>I've heard that, in some Asian countries, they don't stick the chopsticks in their mouths, do they can use them to grab from communal plates

That was my thought process as well. In Korea, whenever we ate with the family, our meals were always "shared". Each person had a personal rice bowl, but everything else was in its own bowl or plate on the table for anyone to grab a bite from with chopsticks. From experience, I think a fork would be a detriment in that particular eating style. However, no one seemed to care about the part where you stick the chopsticks in your mouth.

Why havent we ditches forks and spoons already and just have metal sporks?

>>10635043
Only if you are a weeb

The difference is that americans made foods that could be cleanly eaten by hand. Like pies. Indians make curry then scoop it like barbarians.

>>10637739
Where did you learn this stupidity?

>>10637877
I like my titanium spork. Damn thing likes to leave titanium grey streaks in ceramic bowls though. I wish someone would make some high end steel sporks.

>>10637903
Americans brought spoons and forks from europe.
Spoons go back to before language. Forks were used for presentation.
Knifes and spoons were and are popular for eating.

I spent 14 months all over South Korea. What I learned is our utensils are superior - every Korean uses them to supplement their chop sticks..

>>10637914
Oh fuck is that what those streaks are from?

>>10637739
>>10637911
I see people are rewriting history to suit their needs as usual.
>late 1800's Americans were afraid of forks
Yeah I'm sure a century prior during The Treaty of Paris coastal Americans who were so fucking wealthy some owned hand-tooled rifled firearms that didn't become popular for another couple centuries were afraid of forks. You retard.

>>10636599
How's the spoon fit in?

>>10638182
She slides in gently underneath the bottle opener.

>>10635043
The correct question is whether western cuisine is more or less advanced for requiring the consumer to still cut it up into edible pieces.

>>10636599
Damn dude i would love to twist and turn this greasy bad boi in my hand trying to eat

>man with one chopstick goes hungry
t.confucius

>>10638920
a man with a fork also fucktard
you need FOOD

>>10636599
I will be buying this now thank you. I’d been disappointed in the spork selection on eBay for camping but now problem solved

>>10637609
Uhh they didn't in the picture

>>10637577
I've lived in Japan for a while, for the majority they use chopsticks, but for certain foods they use western cutlery like for eating curry or spaghetti. Try eating udon with a spoon or fork. Or try eating lasagne with chopsticks. Neither are truly better.

>>10635043
I went on vacation for a month one time and got used to eating with plastic silverware. When I got home, everything tasted metallic because of the forks/spoons. Ever since then I use chopsticks whenever I can.

Western cutlery is definitely more practical, since it doesn't necessitate a pivot; gravity holds your food on your spoon and friction on your fork. And your food doesn't need to be pre-sliced if you have a dinner knife.

That being said, both have their advantages.

I think chopsticks are better as a cooking/serving utensil and the fork is better for eating. They both have their place. Girlfriend's Chinese and that's how she uses them unless she's eating with other Asians.

XD
love and waffles

Yes, but which utensil do you use to ea peas with?

>>10638985
hes saying two chopsticks is necessary but not sufficient to not being hungry

>>10637877
Because when you only need a spoon, you don't want fucking metal prongs poking the back of your tongue/throat with every bite.

>>10635043
More. Even chinks will grudgingly admit this.
