I use them for pretty much everything because they’re marginally quicker to clean thoroughly than a fork

Same, I never got good at chopsticks in college and early 20s when I was trying to act cool. By the end of a meal my hand always had something akin to writer’s cramp. At some point I gave up and went back to forks. And sushi of course is finger food.

Honestly for a lot of foods they’re really not a bad choice. They’re excellent for eating flavored chips when you dont want powder on your fingers, also grabbing things from jars
Teaching my Cheetos loving children how to use chopsticks has saved all my gaming controllers.

But then you can’t shovel handfuls of popcorn in your mouth where a quarter misses your mouth and is found in the couch cushions 2 days later.

Just saving some for later.

It’s nice to hear from you again, and to be reminded of your living situation somewhere near Trailer Park Boys and Man in a Motel

Get outta here Popeyes. Your tines are too short to grab the meat, and your ends are too pointy to gather the last 5%. I’d end up full of styrofoam, pawing at a bone like a kitten if I used you. My fingers and teeth work 100x better than you.
Even if I’m backpacking and I need to save weight, I’d rather have a cat-dog version of spoon and fork.

i use what’s most convenient to grab… for instance i use a spoon, or even a fork, for making a pb&j far more often than a knife. there’s a better chance of those being out on the drying rack than a knife. if that means i’m eating ice cream with a fork, i’m eating ice cream with a fork - as long as it’s frozen enough.

Depends on what I made that week. If it’s a soup or stew, spoons are the first to go.

There are foods that just don’t hit the same if you don’t eat them with chopsticks.
Ever tried to eat sushi with a fork? It just feels wrong.
But if it’s a rice bowl, screw the chopsticks. Gimme a spoon.

Makes sense. A chef’s hands touched 80% of that piece of Nigiri while making it

I used to eat sushi with a fork and it is possible. But that’s really about the only food that’s easier to eat with chopsticks than fork and knife.

For frying certain things they’re very useful for flipping or grabbing.

After a few years it just became natural and I found myself grabbing chopsticks before anything else.
The sure way for me to appear to be an amateur chopstick user is to use them.

Chopsticks are great for all kinds of foods. It helps you slow down if you are a fast eater allowing yourself to feel full quicker and eat less. Its helped me lose weight. Also helps when eating popcorn as you eat small bites and don’t get your hands dirty.

I like the Emma Thompson story about why she rolls her own cigarettes. The original idea was that if she had to roll her own cigarettes, she would slow down and smoke less. Ultimately, all that it accomplished was to teach her how to roll faster. So now she smoke just as much, but unfiltered.
This is my experience with chopsticks. At this point they don’t slow me down, and I’m good enough that I can pick individual sesame seeds off of a plate with ease.

I’m far too kack handed for chopsticks so I’ll stick with the fork thanks.
I always eat my cheetos with chopsticks. That way I don’t get degenerate fingers.

I use them because it’s not polite to shovel food directly into my open maw with my fingers
