yep, sharon osbourne probably had a few chopsticks up her ass that ozzfest in 2005. ever heard of the devore incident where she kept cutting maiden's power? i was there.
Nope, but I did heard about the Ozzfest thing with her asking people to throw eggs at Maiden because of something Bruce said about Ozzy... She's a bitch! Ozzy should have retired 15 years ago anyway... She's just manipulating him for the money...

Thanks for the free rep point!;)

I don't have a problem with using chopsticks, but for most things a fork is the better tool. You can also do a lot of cutting with a fork along the narrow edge. The chopsticks have the advantage that you can shovel food in faster if you lift the bowel up to your face. With a fork you have to do a weird twisting motion and it still doesn't do the shoveling action as good. :1orglaugh

I think a lot of places still use chopsticks out of tradition, and this is only a guess on my part but I imagine at one time getting two sticks together was tremendously simpler and cheaper than having somebody forge a fork for you out of metal.
 
I like to use chopsticks. They were hard for me to get used to at first because I've been accustomed to using forks and spoons all my life. Now that I've used them for awhile, I've gotten pretty good at it, and I don't even think about it anymore.
 
What about forks then? Some people prefer to first cut the food, and then put down the knife and switch the fork to their right hand(or left hand I guess for left handed people). I've always been taught to keep both knife and fork in hand while eating, so switching the fork to the right hand in the middle of it, just feels weird to me.
 
Sometimes. For a guy that isn't Asian I'm acutally pretty good with them so I'll use them when I'm with the family... just to show off! If I'm with any of my Asian friends I stick to the fork tho.
 
Chinese food is very popular in the Czech Republic .. and almost always the tables are set with fork and spoon or knife.
I always use chopsticks. Took a while to get used to them, but it's a bit of a "when in Rome" thing for me.
 
I think that, to get the full effect, understanding, and impact of a cuisine, it is always best to eat that cuisine in the properly intended way.

Easy to learn to use, and I think you can eat smaller bits and faster. :)
