Why do the gooks still insist on using these things? I've used them on and off pretty much all my life whenever eating asian food and while I've become pretty proficient at them, I also recognize how ineffective they are at basically every task. Noodles or rice? Shit slips between the two sticks.

And on top of that they simply cannot do certain things a regular fork can, like stabilize a piece of food for cutting with a knife. Are you supposed to cut everything into tiny pieces prior to serving like you need to do with a toddler or something? Like what the fuck, asia?

It was uncouth to pierce or slice food, and was seen as barbaric within Daoism? or maybe Confucianism. Personally, I think they're fucking amazing for most tasks and well suited to nearly every dish in basically the whole of Asia, although the SEA chopstick + spoon is GOAT

Here's what I don't get. Asian cuisine is full of rice. But it's so hard to eat rice with chopsticks. Not at first, mind you, but when you're just about done and there are few grains, it's almost impossible to pick them all up because they aren't all clumped together, and it's hard to clump the remaining grains together because they're so small.

When I'm eating Asian food though, I prefer to use chopsticks. For starters, I don't like the taste of metal. But in general, I like to eat different dishes the way they were meant to be enjoyed.

Eating rice is easy with sticks you scrubs.

yeah at first, but when you're at the end of the meal you have a bunch of scattered grains that just get left on your plate because you're too lazy to pick up each one, one by one.

Well, considering niggers still live in mud huts and shit in holes, eating with their hands is all you can expect of them.

What's your excuse?

Ethiopian food is the fucking worst. You literally pick up dishes with the texture of diarrhea with your fucking fingers.

You're probably eating pieces of shit that fell off other niggers hands when they wipe their ass.

if you've ever seen gooks eat rice, they tilt the bowl and use the chopsticks kinda like a shovel to fling it at their mouth. as far as why: I guess asian people like to ritualize certain parts of their culture because it makes them feel fancy

Depends on the type of chopsticks. China, Korea and Japan so use differently shaped chopsticks and eat different varieties of rice.
Japanese rice is sticky and clumps together, so you can pick up huge chunks of it really easily. Japanese chopsticks have very thin tips for manipulating fish, cutting food and removing bones. In Korea they use spoons as well as chopsticks. Chinese chopsticks have broader tips and they just shovel shit into their face because they have no manners.

Chopped sticks are dainty, feminine, frail

I eat with utensils when I'm out to avoid others troubling me, but at home I eat with my hands and a single big knife.

I slice and eat right off the knife
