Mastering the Chopsticks

I'm not able to eat with chopsticks either.

I've never been able to use chopsticks either. I love Chinese food and just use a fork

I am most comfortable with a fork and spoon and we use them as a routine But chopsticks are not for me.

I use chopsticks even at home when I make Chinese food, it's not so difficult. Look at this video

I use chopsticks in restaurants, but prefer forks and spoons at home.

It's not easy if we are not used to eating using chopsticks, and what you say is true It seems very easy to see people eating using chopsticks, but actually it's very difficult Even I myself find it difficult if I eat using supit

I love to eat with my hand. I used to eat this way since childhood. However, here on eating outside I prefer to use a spoon.

I gave up on chopsticks in favour of knife and fork too

My husband uses it so deftly.. he learnt to use it while he was in Hongkong.. I surrender to the forks and knives.

I've used them a few times, but not since I was in high school, a very long time ago. I prefer a fork.

my big brother taught me how to use these sticks. i still find it hard to pick up food. my son however learned from how i hold the sticks. now, he uses the sticks more expertly than me.

@responsiveme I am not good with chopsticks. Maybe it just takes practice.

I like chop sticks and can use them, tho I have not done so in years. It seemed easy for me to use them.

I have never actually tried to use them....but I don't eat Chinese food either.

I have tried my best but still not been able to master the use of chop sticks.

I can use chopsticks,although I am certain I am not graceful with them. Generally,after eating with them for awhile I will go to a fork..not sure I ever ate a whole meal with them.

My son and his wife are pros at it.... I find it difficult but it might be fun to buy a set and practice at home!

I've never used chopsticks either. I'm not sure that I've eaten any Indian food that could be managed by hand, but I've eaten certain American foods by hand what is normally eaten that way anyhow.

The very first time I ate Chinese food was at a family-run restaurant when I was a student. I went with my boyfriend, and neither of us had used chopsticks before. The owner gave us tuition and encouraged us to practice picking up peas! Since then I always use them at restaurants, and for a lomg time I also used them at home because I had a Chinese friend and he regularly cooked for us, and we for him. Nowadays I don't tend to use them as often at home because my family are not so keen and they generally lay the table with knives and forks!

I've never tried to use them, it's very hard for me.
