Chopsticks vs. Forks

Re: Chopsticks vs. Forks

Chopsticks are cooler.

Also, I've eaten cake with chopsticks. That was fun. Never going back to using a fork to eat cake. xD

I don't use a fork to eat sushi.

Otherwise I use forks.

I used a chopstick as a propeller for an airplane type thing I made out of a waterbottle when I was 8. I doubt a fork would have worked as well due to the much more obvious lack of symmetry. And it would have been way too heavy.

However, for eating, forks are easier and better.

Re: Chopsticks vs. Forks

Chopsticks all the way.
If I had 2 forks, I would use them as chopsticks.
I drink with chopsticks.
I am chopsticks.

I prefer apples because you don't have to peel away the skin to eat it and generally I like the taste of apples more. Another thing that bugs me about Oranges is even if you have the patience to peel away the skin and everything you can't help but get a little messy with the juices so you have to wipe up most of the time. And of course there's always the matter of the skin having to be thrown away at the end. Either that or your oranges next to a trashcan and throw away the skin as you eat it, so I guess from now on I dub oranges the "trashcan fruit".

Also I believe forks and chopsticks have many many shared applications, name one thing chopsticks can do that forks can not. The point is they are both eating utensils but forks overall have the upper hand. If I were in a rice eating contest with an average chopstick user and I was a fork user I bet I would win speed wise. For me it doesn't really matter that other people think of a fork as barbaric, it's way more efficient than chopsticks and I think forks will rule the world one day.

100% fuccen agree'd. Chopsticks are fun, and I use them from time to time cause it's a nice change, but I find most people who regularly use them and argue that they're superior and forks are barbaric are just pretentious weaboos who spend all their time indoors fapping to Hatsune Miku while re-watching Bleach for the 8th time.

FFRに正真正銘の日本人ってほとんどいないよなぁ…ちょっぴり悲しいかも。ここで日本語を使っている人はほとんど白人でちょっぴり中学時代に習っただけで威張る奴と、後は自動的に訳す・変換するプログラムを利用する人ばっか。そのせいで自分の日本語もおかしくなる一方です。微妙といってもいいです。一刻も早く日本人の友達を作らなけらば！(･ω･｡)ﾉ=з


Anime in da future?

Re: Chopsticks vs. Forks

Depends on how Asian I'm feeling

I went to a Sushi bar Tuesday, I started to use the chop sticks like a fork, Sushi and noodles didn't like it.

Re: Chopsticks vs. Forks

As a person who thinks about things in terms of cause-and-effect, I thought up a theory that asians are typically smaller in size because they use chopsticks which take more time to use, giving food more time to digest as you're still eating and in turn satisfying your appetite with a less amount of food.

And then I got a job with asians and realized that they can use chopsticks just as fast as people use forks.

I do like using chopsticks for a change of scenery, for aesthetic value mostly. The most obvious example: a piece of sushi wouldn't look nearly as cool if you cut it in half with a fork and poked at it. As for noodles, chopsticks do the job more quickly than forks for me.

Chopsticks. It's so rewarding when you finally manage to get that darn piece of food in your mouth that, when you do, not only do you feel almighty, it also seems to taste a heck of a lot better, too, whatever piece of food it might be!

Re: Chopsticks vs. Forks

forks because asians are weird

Re: Chopsticks vs. Forks

Well here's the thing. While chop-sticks may be more entertaining and make you feel more accomplished, they are inefficient and not practical for the job of eating most foods that a fork would easily handle. The fork takes the general purpose of chop-sticks and makes it a single item, easier to use, and much more efficient than its counterpart.
So thinking logically, fork > chop-sticks, but I do think using the sticks is a lot more enjoyable.

Naw, I just don't like pretentious weaboos. Normal weaboos who don't insist everything Asian is better for the sake of it being Asian I have no problem with though.

Re: Chopsticks vs. Forks

Utensils are an important component of enjoying cuisine. Call me posh, but I use them when appropriate. When you open fine wine, you don't poor it into paper cups. Same with chopsticks and the food they're typically used with.

/shrug it really doesn't matter that much, but this is what makes sense, I think.
