Can You Use Chopsticks?
 
I hope this poll isn't weird enough to be closed...

Anyway, how many of you can and can't use chopsticks?

Munashii October 20th, 2005 1:22 AM

I can use them very well.. about six restaurants in my town are chinese and use chopsticks so I can use them perfectly easy.

Hinoshi-chan October 20th, 2005 1:41 AM

I can eat with them, but i am not very good with them :P but still I can do so hee hee hee,but it dosnet bother me at all

bna_li October 20th, 2005 2:03 AM

Of course, I'm chinese... I can easily.

Eon-Rider October 20th, 2005 2:08 AM

I'm chinese and I can! My sister can't though. She uses them in a funny way.

bna_li October 20th, 2005 2:11 AM

Hm... American chinese don't really use chopsticks.

Cybex Mewtwo October 20th, 2005 3:43 AM

I had to selsct no because I've never used em before.

Eon-Rider October 20th, 2005 3:57 AM

Oops... I forgot to add that option.

Suki October 20th, 2005 4:50 AM

i can but i 4got to put i hold them in a wierd way.. im not so experienced :nervous: :chinese:

Charizard_Fire_God October 20th, 2005 5:51 AM

Bah, tch, unless tha food's solid so I can stab it with 'em I pretty much can't do anything more with 'em except shove 'em up my nose. Oo;

Smarties-chan October 20th, 2005 5:55 AM

Yup, I can eat with chopsticks =) I learned using them on new years eve if I remember right. Sometimes I do have trouble eating big solid chunks of meat with them and if I do I just stab it ^^

ashley03 October 20th, 2005 5:55 AM

yes i can eat with chopsticks...i find it easy for me...

=3

Chikara October 20th, 2005 6:03 AM

Yeah, I can. My family eats sushi when were watching Lost!

Lil' Schu October 20th, 2005 6:03 AM

I used to be able to, when I went to this thingy...I *think* I still can, but I hold them really, really strange. I hold one in between my thumb/index finger, and the other between my middle/ring finger. o_o;

No, I'm not Chinese.

eX.A.K.R. October 20th, 2005 6:09 AM

Of course, since I'm a Chinese. However, I usually prefer a fork as they are easier to manage.

Mari October 20th, 2005 7:05 AM

Nope~ > <;
Ooh, but I did it once, I was able to take a piece of chicken with the chopsticks and I was so happy, but then the food fell on my lap. :O Other than time, I simply stab my food and, there you go~~ :D

Lightning Scott October 20th, 2005 7:12 AM

I can`t I try my best but I just can`t do It I`ve only tryed it once But then again that was a long time ago so I don`t know if I can now thougth.

Sammi October 20th, 2005 7:40 AM

I can, kind of. I can use them for noodles and other easy-to-grab-with-chopsticks foods. I haven't used them in awhile though, even though we have tons of them. ^^;
However, my sister has tried (and did pretty well o_O) eating ice cream with chopsticks.

Rhykasho October 20th, 2005 8:34 AM

Iv never eaten with chopsticks before so I would have to say no on this one o.o

Loyal Arcanine October 20th, 2005 8:41 AM

I can do it a bit. There is Chinese blood in my family, so I've used them quite a few times.

nicoleb October 20th, 2005 9:46 AM

Yeah, I learned. My Dad taught me when I was eight, or something. I wanted to learn simply because I loved Japanese culture. (Still do.) They can be very frustrating sometimes, though. >>

Tsugaru October 20th, 2005 9:51 AM

i cant even hold them let alone eat with them*sweat drop*

Shikon no Tama October 20th, 2005 10:12 AM

I can use them, not too well, but I can. ^^ I'm not too good when it comes to rice though. ><;

Recknin October 20th, 2005 10:35 AM

nope their hard to use and eat with

Ciervo Volante October 20th, 2005 10:38 AM

I can use them! And I eat with them whenever I go to a Chinese restraunt, it would feel weird if I didn't. o_O

Chairman Kaga October 20th, 2005 11:03 AM

For me, chopsticks = blunt skewer. I've used them before, and can use them, but they're so unwieldly and inconvienient compared to the fork that I don't bother.

AngelWolfie October 20th, 2005 3:52 PM

I can use them with solid food.

Himawarii October 20th, 2005 3:53 PM

I'm partially Japanese so yesh<3It's easy^^

NiNGi's Worst Nightmare October 20th, 2005 3:58 PM

Yes! Sometimes I stab things for fun with them, but I can. Pretty good, actually.

Dawg 2005 October 20th, 2005 4:03 PM

I hold them weird so I can get a grip on the little rice...XD

I usually use a fork and spoon and stuff. Even at resturants with chopstickkys only. XD

Infusco October 21st, 2005 1:03 AM



I can, not perefectly though. And it requires solid food, any other is a no-can-do. Must practice more :bandit: Kidding aside, I enjoy more eating with fork and knife, much more stability there.

That's odd...

I've never tried doing that.

Shiny Meganium October 21st, 2005 4:00 AM

I can use them, but only with big lumps of food. Usually I hold them wrong too.

B-Baller October 21st, 2005 9:38 AM

Yes, I can use them. My grandma taught me how to. If it's unstabbable food like noodles, I use it properly. If it's stabbable food like steak, I stab with my chopsticks and eat.

Arcanine October 21st, 2005 12:09 PM

I'm part Vietnamese (ok half, my mom is Vietnamese). So yea I can use chopsticks, and I can use them every well I might add. Noodles, rice (yes that's right, I can eat rice with them XD), meat and all that other stuff I can eat with chopsticks.
But my brother on the other hand, well lets just say he might be better off holding one chopstick in one hand and the other in his other hand. XD

Akio123 October 21st, 2005 12:13 PM

Actually, I can as well, but really only with solid food.

Sylphiel October 21st, 2005 12:33 PM

Chopsticks and me don't mix too well. Every time I try using them, I end up just going back to using a fork instead, as it's much easier for me. :/

coachwhipneoship October 21st, 2005 1:04 PM

I LOVE to use chopsticks! ^^ My grandfather went to Japan, and he brought back a very nice pair. I've become pretty skilled with them. I used them for ramen the other day. I like 'em for rice too.

Sorye HK October 21st, 2005 6:17 PM

I'm korean, so I've been using them since I can remember. Yet, according to my parents, I don't use the "proper," way.;;

Saboten October 21st, 2005 10:51 PM

I'm Japanese, so I use chopsticks often when I'm eating stuffs, though, I preferr forks and knives.

VelvetDratini October 22nd, 2005 12:45 AM

i cant.. i cant even hold them. I use a fork on rare ocassion that we go to a chinese restaurant

_Huggle_Bunny_ October 22nd, 2005 1:10 AM

i can....i have been useing chopsticks for the past 7 years........i havent used a fork at a chinies/Japanese resturants........

and the people that say they cant eat rice with them...lol.....u have to eat the rice in a bowl......and use chopstick.....its like impossible to use chopsticks with rice on a plate.....lol


BTW im english....lol

Supreme Edgeboy Max October 22nd, 2005 1:25 AM

Eh, I can, but I hold them weirdly.. I don't use chopsticks too often, thats why probably.

RoxasOld October 22nd, 2005 5:34 AM

Though I dont really like sushi, I love going to this Japanese restaurant just to eat with chopsticks XD So obviously yes.

Jack O'Neill October 22nd, 2005 8:38 AM

Yes, I can use chopsticks, but it's been a long time since I last used them. I used to hold them in some sort of weird way that I can't remember off the top of my head...

Samurai X October 22nd, 2005 3:37 PM

No, it's too hard.

I was going to vote for the last option but I don't think using them with two hands counts. My brother can.

Miyu-chan October 22nd, 2005 3:48 PM

Yes... since my family's Chinese, we eat with them. xD;

Dragon-Chan October 22nd, 2005 6:21 PM

I quickly learned how to use chopsticks..it isn't really that hard once you learn how. I have trouble with Indian rice sometimes, though..>_>

Sailor Chibi Lunatone October 22nd, 2005 6:23 PM

Yep! I've perfected the art of chopsticks, with a ton of help from my stepdad and stepsister.

~tang~ October 22nd, 2005 6:38 PM

I learnt to eat bacon and eggs with hashi when I was in japan for 3 months...

so yes

Crystal Clair October 22nd, 2005 7:14 PM

Yes, I can very well. In fact I have a few pairs of em home. I eat mostly Chinese and rice with them. I taught myself and weirdly enough, it was the right way all along. It's just so difficult eating rice with them. If you know how to eat rice with chopsticks (a lot of rice that is), feel free to tell me the trick.

Kid Frost October 22nd, 2005 8:13 PM

*cries* i cant hold a freakin chopstick

Rukario Trainer October 22nd, 2005 8:26 PM

no, but i certainly would like to learn how to use them :)

Happy Dude October 22nd, 2005 8:59 PM

Don't know don't really care.XD

I use a fork.

Rai October 23rd, 2005 5:48 PM

I love chop sticks! and I use them all the time!!

Crucificus October 24th, 2005 8:19 PM

Ugh... Chopsticks. Nope, a fork works fine for me. :P

Fls4eva October 25th, 2005 4:48 AM

I'm a chinese.. so i obviously know how to use them...

Cherrim October 25th, 2005 5:31 AM

I love using chopsticks; it's fun~ :D

So...yeah. Evidently I know how to use them. XD Not much else to say.

The Fly October 25th, 2005 6:22 AM

I don't even think I can. The last time I held chopsticks was at least eight years ago; however, my nerves, especially in my fingers, are quite jittery, so I don't think I would be able to hold them right without making them fall.

QT Plusle October 26th, 2005 4:10 AM

I had a japanese friend who taught me when I was 8 but I can still only pick up solid food with them!

Geometric-sama October 27th, 2005 4:00 PM

I suppose that I *should* be able to use chopsticks regularly, being Vietnamese. So I guess I can, I just can't be bothered, 'cause I'm not very good at it and can't be bothered practising. I have Pokémon chopsticks though. :P

Datriot October 28th, 2005 1:19 AM

I can, but I hold them in a wierd way, everyone laughs at me.:P

O October 28th, 2005 1:38 AM

People say I'm a chopstick god. I can pick up marbles with them. :O

kohei October 28th, 2005 1:46 AM

Of course I can! I'm Japanese, so it'll be fairly sad if I couldn't.
I've used it ever since I can remember.

Draik October 28th, 2005 4:30 AM

Yes, I'm a full-blooded Chinese XD
I learned when I was 7. I can now pick up tiny tree nuts XD

Lust October 31st, 2005 7:42 PM

I don't think I've can, but I've never really tried. I just eat my chinese food with forks and spoons.

Eon-Rider October 31st, 2005 10:57 PM

Woah... impressive!

I think I can too...

SonicThrust November 1st, 2005 6:34 PM

I can. I learned about a year and a half ago at a friends party and this weekend I was eating smarties with them (a really bad idea)

Lord Jacek November 1st, 2005 7:05 PM

I can use them but i really don't like to because i look stupid the way i hold and use them.

Candelyce November 1st, 2005 8:43 PM

Yes, but not very well, I'm getting used to it.

TRIFORCE89 November 2nd, 2005 6:32 AM

I can use them, just not properly. At Kura's birthday I stabbed my sushi. I do want to learn the proper way however. T_T; The last time I tried I think a noddle flew across the room.

~Ozy~ November 2nd, 2005 7:51 AM

Can I? Yes. I'm actually more comfortable reating with them than a fork, spoon, and knife... Of course, that doesn't quite work with steak or such, but because of the problems I have with my hands and such (it's a miracle I can even write), chopsticks are more comfortable for me.

Freenaturearts November 2nd, 2005 1:37 PM

Some places have special tools for rice and juicy things ^^ but back to the question, just about the same time I tought myself how to draw I found something in a restroom that said "How to be a tourest in three simple steps"
The first one will always be killer to do but I love chopsticks to test peopleXD my favorite is to eat jello! love when someone tosses a piece acrossed the table =3 but mainly cause it's fun to eat that way. And you feel somewhat smarter X_X?

Nedrag Terces12 November 2nd, 2005 2:05 PM

All i can say is...i'm asian :P

Dignity November 2nd, 2005 6:02 PM

Yeah. I'm part Japanese, so I guess it's in the blood! XD; I <3 sushi and sashimi.. Mmmm..

Kurono November 2nd, 2005 6:04 PM

Even though my mom works with great affiliation of the Chinese community I really suck at using chopsticks..XD I just can't hold them right..XD

Shadow Death November 3rd, 2005 6:27 AM

I can but I hold them in a wrong way.

Enough said. ;)

Makoto November 3rd, 2005 4:16 PM

not a bit! No chopsticks for me!
Why do people even use chopsticks anyway? all you need's a fork......

LelandLancaster November 3rd, 2005 4:24 PM

Aww man.. I've never gotten the hang of those things and I haven't tried to in a long time. So no.

I should try and learn, though.

Trikip November 6th, 2005 5:31 AM

Nope, I can't use chopsticks. Never even seen them is person in my whole life, actually.

The Fallen November 6th, 2005 7:13 PM

I can sorta use them. I try avoiding them though. XD

digi-kun November 6th, 2005 7:48 PM

ya, i don't use em much though

Jeremy November 6th, 2005 7:58 PM

Well sweeties, I'm Asian, and there's no chopsticks in the house, chopsticks only. XD!

Morkula November 6th, 2005 8:06 PM

I've tried using chopsticks at a Chinese restaurant once. I failed miserably. XD
