LOL, of couse you can use chopsticks to other use, such as eating noodles. I think it is kinda hard to eat sushi using chopsticks, usually it become very messy cause the filling drop everywhere:) But somebody told me that if you eat sushi, you supposed to eat all at once, but some sushi hae big size, I wonder how to eat them at one big swallowing

Yes you have to eat sushi all at once so that you can taste if it is delicious or not. Yes there are big size sushi still you have to eat them all at once but of course you cannot swallow them you have to taste first to yumminies of the sushi and swallow it bit by bit.

If it is big size sushi, I usually eat only half of them first and eat the rest afterwards. But I give a try on your suggestion:)

One needs to be highly skilled and talented to use chopsticks! Ha ha! Just kidding! Yes, it does take a while to be comfortable with chopsticks. It took me a couple of months practising before I could use them for sushi. Now I am quite used to it. I don't drop things on the table any more! Ha ha!

I'm Chinese so I already use chopsticks all the time when I eat but I like eating some food differently to feel another culture though. Sometimes I make porridge and eat them with the really long silver spoons because it feels more Korean.

I like some sushi. I can barely use chopsticks. When I get sushi, I eat it with my hands.

Eating sushi using chopsticks gives me a feeling of experiencing the Japanese culture/cuisine. But if I'm too hungry and my hands are getting shaky by using these chopstick, I shift on using the fork instead.

Owh..same here too arb!But for me I'll start using my bare hand when I gave up using the chopstick.hehe.It's much more enjoyable to try blend in with their culture whenever I eating Japanese cuisine.So, I usually try my best to use the chopstick instead of other stuff.

I love sushi even I'm an Asian. I had used chopsticks seen I'm was 4 years old because of my aunt sell the 'laksa'. Did you know what is laksa? Laksa is a popular spicy noodle soup from Malaysia. I'm start using the chopsticks by holding it with both hand, each hand with 1 chopstick. Its hard to make the noodle got into my mouth but its fun.

I can use chopsticks well when eating Chinese dishes and Japanese food, as I'm a Chinese. But metal chopsticks in korea restaurant make me suffering, because they are heavier than ones in China and Japan.

You know, it's interesting! In the past, in literary families, they have strict rules on using chopsticks, e.g. how to hold the chopsticks. So my peers think my post of holding chopsticks is good, but I know not. Comparing with my mum, my post is not good.

If you pay attention on it, you will find those who are good at skills of chopsticks, their chopsticks seldom cross, and the middle finger as the fulcrum.

It's quite interesting! Hehe...

I don't think I use chopsticks correctly, but I use them "more" correctly than other people. Thank goodness I don't have to follow any chopstick use rules in the United States - I'd always be scolded for using chopsticks incorrectly. I agree with the metal chopsticks in the Korean restaurants - it takes getting used to, but so does using short and long chopsticks. I'm Japanese and I am less proficient using the long chopsticks Chinese use, and I have Chinese friends who experience the same with the short Japanese chopsticks.

It is funny that when I eat at an Asian restaurant, and the restaurant has both chopsticks and a knife and fork set, my non-Asian friends who know how to use chopsticks will use the chopsticks, and I sometimes will use the knife and fork. As for sushi, I always use chopsticks, as I think if I used a fork, the sushi would crumble before it hit my mouth. Chopsticks are like fingers, so as long as you don't mind cutting food with your teeth, you can use them to eat anything.
