Chop sticks suck

No idea why anyone would rather use them over a fork.

You kidding? Chopsticks are the MOST versatile utensil. With it, you can pick up noodles, stab something, split/cut food...

Chopsticks are the IS350 of utensils.

Yeah, the diet sorta uses the hand for eating versus utensils, correct?

but again depends on the whole north vs south too...since south has more rice and thinner consistency lentils, spoon/folk is common there...

up north with the tandoori roti and chicken tikka masala, eating with hands will yield better taste

it was funny to see my white friends eat at the wedding and the house warming/reception...they gave up on Indian food and filled up with the Thai cuisine LOL

Hey, I'm all for eating with hands. Biggest gripe I have with shellfish (i.e. crab, lobster) with eating at some fancy 4-5 star restaurant is I have to eat that with a freaking fork.

Like, really?!?!??? Let me use my hands to break the damn thing...snap the parts with my hands and bite away.

so effin true....I loved that when I went to India recently....whether you are sitting at a roadside cart OR at a 5 star hotel, you still eat Indian food with hands


PS: the roadside chow mein and lo-mein are offff the hook back home...better than any gourmet place I have been to....

I have always felt the roadside food is better though...

I loved eating chicken and rice on the street side cart back in NY....frequented the Halal guys a lotttt....those guys are soo damn popular in the city....

if you are ever there, hit them up....the cart used to be @ 53rd and 6th....great great food...I heard they opened up their first store in NYC....not sure if they are still operating the cart....I hope they are

Yeah, in -land, requirements to use only your utensils? Pfffft...go ahead and use the hands.

Of course, if you go to a western-cuisine (i.e. hoity-toity French) restaurant, expectations are again that you use a fork and knife. Probably expect you to have your pinky finger raised too.

Costco rotisserie chicken: BEST eaten with your hands.

And especially true if you're capable of eating the entire bird on your own.

dude am a firm believer of clientele....

you dont go to a business meeting in shorts and you dont go to an upscale restaurant and act or eat like a dingus....

there is a different between going to taco bell and a gourmet restaurant (though many believe taco bell is gourmet )

but with that said, I append to it, by* saying, food should be enjoyed the way it was meant to be....you cant enjoy pizza/indian food/taco's/etc with spoon and fork you need to use your hands....and you cant eat soup with your fingers, gotta use a soup spoon....

Costco's rotisserie chicken is IMO, the best. And so cheap too. Sometimes, if we're too busy to cook, stop at Costco on the way home...pick up a bird or two and a salad to go...done. $25 tops for two people. Probably less in USD.

Of course, I tend to leave my barbarian/garburator tendencies if I'm at a work function.

So, yeahhhh...I will eat my stupid pizza with a fork and knife if I have to.

hahah

yeah here when Sid was born, we didnt have to pay a penny...the wifey has good coverage from work with the FSA and stuff...the FSA covered upto the max out of pocket and rest was all insurance....

just for giggles, I asked the hospital to send me a bill to "file"....the bill was almost 25,000 !!! I was like WTF !!! and this was for a normal delivery...3 days/2 nights at the hospital...

I was impressed with her insurance coverage....

I'm proficient with them.

1st of all, don't question an entire race/ethnicity/culture for their use of a utensil just because you can't figure it out.

2nd, don't bother with the rubber band drawn cheaters...with those, you'll never learn how to use them. Sushi on a fork feels like pedophilia...do it right, wait until 18 and use single chop sticks.
