Yeah. Got a new set from my family as a gift too that works great with noodles. I usually just knife and fork everything though.

When I get noodles or sushi or any Asian food I do because it's fun. At home I rarely do.

I wish i could use them more often, but i keep forgetting to buy a set. Most of my supply i get are disposeables from a local sushi place.

idk about for eating but they're kino for cooking. they're honestly so convenient
I use them mainly for fishing stuff out of hot oil and stirring food when using a nonstick pan (they don't scratch the teflon surface)
they're amazing, basically you can use them as an extension of your fingers but with the advantage that you can't burn yourself, that's the definition of versatility
by the point the food the food is in the plate I think a fork i way more useful though

If a restaurant provides them and no fork/knife, I just use them. At home I very rarely use them, except for when I use certain kinds of noodles that are so slippery it's a huge pain to grab them with fork or a spoon.

I do have a set of long cooking chopsticks and those are cool for stirring and manipulating stuff you're frying or whatever.

anything culturally different seems dumb or pretentious to people who are naive or (in OPs case) don't care
in the case of food, foreign things have been associated with class for a while in most cultures, even mcdonalds is fancy in the middle east. accents get a similar treatment. saying words with the long "a" sound will get you called a fag by a lot of americans, whereas saying fillet without the "t" sounds stupidly pretentious to brits

>boiled dog meat
>one time, monkey brains

Americans have no idea how bad it really is. No one in china knows what the fuck beef and broccoli is or sweet and sour pork. Chinese food is disgusting. Literally the worst parts to eat of any animal. Makes sense because chinks are the race of humans closest to animals. They make disgusting noises when they eat, slurp everything, men in the streets lift their fucking wife beaters over their sweaty stomachs while laughing and chewing with their mouths full of food. Like what kind of idiot decided 2 sticks is the most practical way to eat grains of fucking rice. Starving Nigerians who eat grass have a better diet than the average chinese.

For Asian foods that are typically eaten with chopsticks yes, as well as finger foods because I'm a huge faggot who absolutely hates getting his hands dirty. What's pretentious about that? Seems pretty utilitarian to me.
I haven't used them for cooking yet but I have seen them used for that as well like other anons mentioned earlier and that seems pretty practical as well.

Was going to post similar. Just a flubby middle aged white guy here, but I do like chopsticks for certain things: work great for leafy salads, chip like snacks - especially ones that leave shit all over your finger, and in some cooking I like them because I can whisk, stick and flip with them, also the long cooking kind are great for deep frying.

I actually cramp more like between my index finger and thumb, but yes.

Anyways, I love chopsticks for sushi and Chinese food. I don't know how any of you fucks prefer them for noodles though. A fork is wildly preferable so I can twirl the noodles or get leverage. I can still do it if I'm standing on occasion somewhere, but if I'm just sitting at home eating some ramen, it's a fork for me.

Chopsticks are better for noodles if you're willing to pick your plate/bowl up. If you keep it on the table like some kind of white person you'll eat your noodles at a really slow pace and they'll be cold by the time you're done eating.

See, this is the weird thing, I see that with rice and noodles, like people just get it super close to their face and then barely grip the chopsticks and just use it as a scoop. Makes other utensils seem more meaningful. Scooping close to your face seems gluttonous.

Anyways, I don't like super hot food, so I don't have a problem with them being "cold" by the time I'm done.
