[quote=Anonymous] Japanese here. It is a big no-no to plant your chopsticks upright in your bowl, because that is how ritual food offerings are given to the deceased in Japan. It is generally considered more polite to rest your chopsticks, when unused, on the little chopstick rest, not in any dish. But in family homes, I can tell you that anything goes with chopsticks. This is more of a "when in company" rule. EXCEPT the upright thing, see above, which is never done, and children are taught never to do. [/quote]
