I’ve been using chopsticks for as long as
I can remember. I almost always eat meals with chopsticks or sometimes a fork.
I have difficulty eating with spoons though =w=” Once I was eating lunch
with a friend, he got so frustrated watching me struggle using a spoon that he
had to teach me how to use it properly.

Okay, I can understand the metal taste, but that’s just cheap silverware. Much like a cheap wooden chopstick can leave the taste of wood in your mouth. I’ve got quite a bit of experience with chopsticks from my wife’s Asian side of the fam.
By the way, I’m just an overzealous defender of the Fork. Sorry if I offended. I actually enjoy Textfugu and your articles immensely. And sorry for reviving a two year old post :)

I’d say the taste of metal versus the taste of wood can make a difference. Sounds like it doesn’t make a difference for you, but doesn’t mean it isn’t better for some people ;)
Also sounds like you don’t have much experience with chopsticks. About the same level of knowledge as I have regarding silverware.

really people? It’s just a mode of getting food from a plate to your face. It does not make your food taste better. It does not have magical properties that somehow add flavor to food. If you seriously think it does, you might want to think about going back to school. I can use both chopsticks and forks, depending on what I’m eating I’ll make my choice, but it certainly has nothing to do with flavor. Sometimes I want to shovel my food with a fork, and sometimes I want to eat individual grains of rice with chopsticks.

Asians are simply calmer and more submissive, thus the chopsticks. Western folks are aggressive and violent, thus the slashing with knives and stabbing with forks. And people that can’t eat a salad with a fork? Should I send you a drawing on how it works?

And finally, chopsticks are not a complete set, just as a fork is not a complete set. Chopsticks do not cut and firmer than tofu, and they certainly don’t do squat but halfway stir soup. Get over it people, it’s just a manner of eating.
