Eating with chopsticks is a lot of fun, but I have nothing to warrant it. Like I don't even eat chicken fingers or meatballs or snacks out of a jar or anything to play around with them, but I'm quite skilled with them since I've been using them with Asian food for 25+ years.

Still haven't learned to use chopsticks....people have shown me but alas I am a failure :< so the usual forks and spoons for me, regardless of what food.

I mean, definitely depends on the cuisine - I'm not busting out the chopsticks to eat spaghetti

I am Asian though, so meals at home are usually eaten with chopsticks. I'm not actually good at using them, and my dad did not notice/inform me until I was like 13, then tried to "correct" the way I hold chopsticks but like dude I had been eating like this for at least 10 years at that point, not that easy to change

Wait, there's a correct way to hold them? How was your form different?

I haven't used chopsticks since like high school... I would absolutely suck with them. Until I can learn how to use them properly, forks it is.

Chopsticks if they're available and I have the patience to try using them, otherwise it's forks all the way. I have just about no practice with chopsticks so if I'm hungry I'm not even bothering.

Plus I tend to forget about them even at places where I could get them. :(

Forks, even at Asian restaurants. My motor skills aren't strong, so chopsticks are very difficult for me to use...

I actually find chopsticks easier than using a knife and fork. I was never really one for etiquette growing up and I was a very fussy eater and most of the food I did eat was food that was generally eaten by hand (sandwiches, chips & burgers, fruit, snack food) or with a spoon (porridge, stew) so I didn't really use a knife and fork growing up much at all. I'm much less of a fussy eater now and I can of course use a knife and fork, I just didn't much.

Then the first time I moved away from home was to Beijing and that was also the time I started regularly eating out at restaurants with friends, and the cutlery of most establishments was of course chopsticks so I was thrust into using them and it's not really that hard to master if you have to do it. Was an expert after two weeks and now I'll instinctively always choose chopsticks.

Honestly, I can't use chopsticks for the life of me. I think a lot of it is due to poor motor coordination. I've never been able to figure them out no matter how hard I try. :c So, western cutlery for me.

Chopsticks are easy to use. My 8 year old self used it improperly but it still worked, I got the food in my mouth.
