Why Do The Japanese Eat With Chopsticks Instead Of Forks And Knives?
Just as other cultures use silverware, their culture was brought up using chopsticks. I also use chopstick when dining at a oriental place. The metal seems to give the food a certain flavor (or maybe it is the wood) so I enjoy more to use the wood.
To use chopsticks, you lay one in your hand between your thumb and middle finger while you hold the other like a pencil. The first stick remains solid in the crevice of each finger while the other moves to hold the food tight against the first stick. Practice and you too can use chopsticks. I love it but accidents do happen.
