Brainlet, chopsticks aren't hard to use

Why would you use forks when chopsticks are available?

They leave a hand free so you can masturbate while you eat.

>>10979734
Why the fuck would anyone care what utensils someone else used?

>>10979734
because chopsticks are better than forks for everything except for steak

>>10979744
>not using the based and redpilled 2-handed fork

>>10979734
Different culture, they tend to put different food in the middle of the table, and pick the one you want to go with your rice. It's simpleto tool and precise to pick what you want

"Honey can you pass the mash potato?"
Seems troublesome. Can't even enjoy your own meal because of all the interruption

>>10979794
>le different culture

>>10979734
>hurr why do ppl use fork and spoon when hands are available ! Durr what's the benefits !!

>>10979794
Yum, a free helping of other people's saliva in every morsel.
We do that in our culture too, by the way. We just happen to have tongs and other serving utensils.

they are good for foods that you don't want to puncture and leak liquid from. otherwise I'd rather use silverware.
they truly shine being used as a cooking utensil to stir and move things around.

>>10979828
You can scoop with a fork as well as stab. It's much more versatile than many people think.

inb4 spork

>>10979821
If you eat out, there are places provide a different set so you don't touch other ppl food

But generally if you aren't a brainlet and know how to use chopstick you won't touch others ppl food, they have spoon for dish that's aren't easy to use with chopstick.

>>10979740
OP didn't say or imply that they are "hard to use". And why are you bothered by the question of their benefit? One post has pointed to the benefit of not puncturing the food, and another pointed to the fork's ability to scoop, negating the puncture issue. I'll add to the fork's benefits by saying that they are also good at cutting many foods. Chopsticks can only manage a "cut" via a squeeze of a soft item. So forks can cut, scoop, stab, stir, and surely more. Chopsticks, can carry and stir. How do the chopsticks win here?

I do use chopsticks for popcorn because I top that with a lot of dry ingredients which only partially cling to the olive oil, and both the fork and the spoon cause too much agitation which makes the toppings drop off. Other than that, fork wins the rest.

>>10979853
Remove the spoon along with both sets of chopsticks and the stand holding them. Place a fork in that spot and all issues are resolved.

>>10979734
Idk. I'm using chopsticks right now. I like me a good fork. Depending what I'm eating, if there's a lot of different things around, it's more precise to pick up stuff that way. Why is this a recurring thread? People advocate the fork but haven't mastered two sticks?

>>10979921
>OP didn't say or imply that they are "hard to use
Why else would OP even ask the question he or she did?

>>10979946
Obviously because they don't see the benefit. Have you provided your opinion of the benefit you believe they hold?

>>10979734
Lets you eat slower.

>>10979958
The speed at which you eat is entirely your choice. If you meant that they force you to eat slower, I might agree. But really, I still don't. When adept at using chopsticks, you can shove as much in your mouth either way.

No "benefit" posted thus far is credible.

>>10979818
You tell me faggot.

>>10979821
Don't be racist. You use the other end of the chopsticks for serving yourself.

>>10979734
If you didn't eat 1500 calories at every meal you would realize chopsticks are the superior utensil for anyone whose goal is not to eat their entire TDEE during a 25 minute lunch break.

>>10979989
Give me a minute. I'll think of something.

>>10979818
Serious question here about that image. Does the customer usually drink the sauces in the little bowls there? The thicker one on the left looks like it could be dipped into and cling to the food well enough, but the one on the right is very watery and looks like you'd have to sip it in a drinking manner.

>>10980019
Pretty sure their point was that while forks and spoons are available, no one uses them for hotdogs. But to their discredit, its a LOT easier to eat a hotdog with your hands than it is to eat rice in such a way.

>>10979921
There's a reason you don't get knives at a Chinese
restaurant. Chopstick etiquette specifically cutting and stabbing. It brings disharmony to the dinner table. You can say what you want about that but all Chinese recipes are made so that isn't a problem, i.e., meat is cut into small pieces already. Of course dishes made for the fork and knife won't be convenient to eat with a chopstick.

>>10980020
It's for dipping the fried thing on the left into, you could also mix it with rice if you had more. Generally you'll run out of most of it by the end of the meal (he's probably going to get more vadas, idlis, or dosas), but if you don't finish adults will just eat the rest with a spoon. It's hard to drink because there are a lot of solid vegetables in there like chopped tomatoes.

That guy definitely has spoons available for serving, soups, yogurt, etc. It's just a lot better to eat most Indian food with your hands.

>>10980013
retard

>>10980040
>You can say what you want about that but, etc.

I actually don't have anything bad to say about that. I like small cut food because its just more pleasant to eat without having to cut it all myself. More relaxing, I suppose. Also, for sauce heavy things, the larger stuff doesn't get as much sauce coverage. Small cut stuff has sauce all around and within every bite.

>>10980035
Well sure. Italians sometimes eat pizza with a knife and fork instead of their hands so it's up to you

you guys do realize that restaurants do provide with communal spoons and chopsticks to help serve the food right?
you can also ask for a spoon even if there's no soup, but that's mostly for kids and moms when feeding food to minors

>>10979744
How the fuck do you hold your fork?

>>10979734
Its just for fun anon
Youre overthinking it and your thread is bad

You guys take everything I say yesterday and repost the same exact thing.
Keep it up :::thumbs:::

>>10979818
Because you don't want to touch your food? Moronic comment

>>10979821
depends how close you are with the people you eat with.
if it's close friends or family then no-one cares
if it's people that arent so close you just have another pair of chopsticks to use as tongs, or you just use the butt end of your chopsticks.

>>10979734
you tend to eat slower than with a fork or a spoon. thus making you eat less because your body takes 15 minutes to actually feel full.

The elites during the Tang dynasty also used forks as well. More like meat pierces, but it does look closer to modern forks.

>>10979734
Dumb asians never even invented the spoon

>>10979744
two handed fork Master race

What are some based and redpilled food to eat with chopsticks?

>not using both
I don't need a reason to do things, I do things because they please me.

>>10979853
The utensils and china here look so immaculate, but they are in fact filthy, covered in bacteria. That's why I don't go to restaurants.

>>10980496
Their soup spoons actually are better than ours, though. Really nice design. Imagine what could have happened if they put their minds to forks.

Because I don't have time to clean between the tines. Takes me 1 swipe per chopstick vs 6 swipes for tines, 1 for handle, 1 for fork head. And you know what? I didn't even do that great a job between the tines, have to go back and do them again.

Fags are always like "hurr I'm so cool because I can use chopsticks!"

Congratulations on being a fag I guess

>>10979734
Have you ever tried eating cheetos with a fork? shit doesn't work. Chop sticks are a dream.

>>10981274
>OP doesn't like chopsticks

>Lol OP only fags like chopsticks, lol you like chopsticks fag

??????????????????????????????

Because forks are for faggots. You're not a faggot, are you OP?

>>10981309
but what about us faggots that don't use forks?

>>10981312
You're a faggot for participating in a thread for faggots. Fuck off.

>>10979734
Wife wants to use these for some kind of kinky shit. What say you, /ck/? Chopsticks in pee hole?

>>10981321
ok! thanks!

>>10979734
They are better than a fork for eating noodles, especially in noodle soup.

>>10981322
I would recommend inserting both of them into your favourite orifice (mine is the vagina) and them gently prying it open with the chopsticks. You can use the gap created to insert semen or food products etc. with a syringe.

>>10979734
chopsticks can do everything except pick up soup

>>10981265
Don't you know how to squeeze a cloth? It pushes into the gaps and the whole thing cleans in a single wipe. Your brain is nothing but sludge.

>>10979734
you dont have to pierce the food. other than that, nothing except the comfort of familiarity.
>>10979750
this is the dumbest shit i've read all day.

>>10979734
Why the fuck would anyone own these when Alabama is available? What benefit does exposure to other cultures provide?

>>10980445
>you tend to eat slower than with a fork and spoon
Who are you referring to? People from western cultures or the chinese? Because the people who have grown up using chopsticks over forks tend to eat a lot faster with the chopsticks, you fucking retard

>>10979734
For me, fun and weeb factor

>>10979734
Chopsticks are first and foremost a shoveling implement because no one fucking eats off a dinner plate using chopsticks, that what knives and forks are for.

>>10979734
They're designed so you eat slower, thus enjoying your food more and eatting less. We tend to eat so quick that our stomach doesn't have time to tell us we're done.

>>10981322
I've used chopsticks a few times when I couldn't find my sounding bar.

Im looking for a bento box, it cant be pinku (thats japanese for pink) or any girl color. It has to be of 2 or more kotoba (thats japanese for 2 compartments) and has be be chibi (small) sized. And has to be really kawaii (cute). Also It has to be about 10-20 bux. And you have to post pics of it first (i want to make shure it's kawaii [cute]). And it would be nice if it came with matching chopstick holder (WITH chopsticks). OH! and it CANNOT have any cartoon pictures, or be made out of plastic. It has to be made of ceramic, or something like that. Also it would be nice if it was made in japan. and not in china or corea (korea) or whatever. I have found a bento box similar to the one im describing in e-bay, but it was 1 kotoba, and i dont want my gohan (rice) to touch my other things (it can get wet and i would not like that, plus 2 compartments looks more kawaii)

>>10982884
i've eaten a bowl of popcorn faster with chopsticks than I can with a spoon or fork. by the 10 minute mark i'm looking at my empty bowl, telling myself not to make more, and not paying attention to the movie.
of course i can eat faster with my hands, but then it/they get salty and greasy and I'm not touching my remote(s) after that

>>10979734
i always use them when i eat salad lol. stabbing a fork through all the shit never worked well imo. grabbing what i want for the perfect bite every time is way nicer.

spoons for scooping, forks for stabbing (or cutting and picking up, like cake), chopsticks for grabbing. how hard is that to understand?

>>10979989
When in America you eat like trump. Best of world use chopstick and out 100 meter walk you. You stay in warmart scooter. Dohnt hert your self
