[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I learned when I lived in Japan (learned all my Asian table manners there originally). I got pretty good at it. (Sidebar: I always found it fun when someone in Japan exclaimed "Oh, you can use chopsticks! You are so good at it!" to respond "Oh, you can use a fork! You are so good at it!" ;) ) Then I married DH (Vietnamese) and now I use them about half of the time (when we have Asian food). The trick is that you lock one chopstick in the crook of your hand (where thumb meets hand) and hold the other like a pencil, and you ONLY MOVE THE ONE YOU HOLD LIKE A PENCIL! :) Also, Asians don't use chopsticks for things that they don't work well on (fried rice, soup, curry, etc). They either use spoons or small bowls (meant to be lifted to the lips) for those things. TMYK! [/quote] Are you an ex-JET? I learned when I was in Japan, and just rolled my eyes at all the "o hashi jodyzu!" comments (You are good at using chopsticks!)[/quote]
