Because they are easier to handwash
Plus it’s fun.
cooking an omelette with chopsticks is a superior experience.
Once you learn to eat rice with chopsticks you become unstoppable.
If you do your hair up with 2 forks you look like a dumb dumb whereas if you use chopsticks you look like somebody who saw a life hack video or post
Sticking a fork in sushi feels illegal.
i don’t mind
Only in Japan. It’s punishable by death.
I use it like a spatula :)
I’d rather eat sushi with my hands than with a fork XD
I use them for pretty much everything because they’re marginally quicker to clean thoroughly than a fork
Honestly for a lot of foods they’re really not a bad choice. They’re excellent for eating flavored chips when you dont want powder on your fingers, also grabbing things from jars
They are the best choice for salads. Eating salads with a fork sucks
Teaching my Cheetos loving children how to use chopsticks has saved all my gaming controllers.
Chop sticks and Cheetos are a classic combo!
I use them for eating popcorn
But then you can’t shovel handfuls of popcorn in your mouth where a quarter misses your mouth and is found in the couch cushions 2 days later.
found in the couch cushions 2 days later.
Just saving some for later.
Gotta feed the roach homies
Aren’t those the people who come over and empty your ashtrays when they’re out of weed?
I’ve gotta find someone with a 3D printer locally who can make me those fingy chopsticks for cheetos. I’m tired of cleaning my keyboard everytime I wanna snacc.
Check your public library, nowadays many often have a couple for the public to use
When I was in Toronto, yeppers. Alas I’m on an island out in the middle of nowhere. I’m gonna have to find a 3D print shop or make a friend lol
Alas I’m on an island out in the middle of nowhere.
It’s nice to hear from you again, and to be reminded of your living situation somewhere near Trailer Park Boys and Man in a Motel
my god grabbing things from jars how has that never occurred to me
Who else goes through spoons quicker than any other utensils? In my household

Long spoon. I love long spoon.
We call them Korean fighting spoons. Since it’s for reaching side dishes and sauces before others at the table
I can hear this image
That spoon in too big.
Found the backpacker.
Little spoons go first for me,. But yes, spoons are the ultimate utensil
Spork enters the chat.
Get outta here Popeyes. Your tines are too short to grab the meat, and your ends are too pointy to gather the last 5%. I’d end up full of styrofoam, pawing at a bone like a kitten if I used you. My fingers and teeth work 100x better than you.
Even if I’m backpacking and I need to save weight, I’d rather have a cat-dog version of spoon and fork.
I have a lot of condiments to scoop
i use what’s most convenient to grab… for instance i use a spoon, or even a fork, for making a pb&j far more often than a knife. there’s a better chance of those being out on the drying rack than a knife. if that means i’m eating ice cream with a fork, i’m eating ice cream with a fork - as long as it’s frozen enough.
Whatever falls into the sarlacc pit that is my garbage disposal goes first
Depends on what I made that week. If it’s a soup or stew, spoons are the first to go.

Same, I never got good at chopsticks in college and early 20s when I was trying to act cool. By the end of a meal my hand always had something akin to writer’s cramp. At some point I gave up and went back to forks. And sushi of course is finger food.
There are foods that just don’t hit the same if you don’t eat them with chopsticks.
Ever tried to eat sushi with a fork? It just feels wrong.
But if it’s a rice bowl, screw the chopsticks. Gimme a spoon.
Depends on the rice, sticky rice is really easy to eat with chop sticks, you can just generally grab anything and get a chunk. Medium sticky you can scoop up but non sticky/liquid sauce is a non-starter.
I firmly believe sushi should be eaten with hands.
Makes sense. A chef’s hands touched 80% of that piece of Nigiri while making it
Japanese sushi chefs agree. Sushi is a finger food.
I used to eat sushi with a fork and it is possible. But that’s really about the only food that’s easier to eat with chopsticks than fork and knife.
I eat sushi with a fork at least once a week
Yes, but
For frying certain things they’re very useful for flipping or grabbing.
The sure way for me to appear to be an amateur chopstick user is to use them.
