Forks. They're easier.Also, my hands, since the majority of my food is food I can hold in my hands.
Forks. They're easier.
I like to use chopsticks, but I never do. The last time I used chopsticks was on my birthday at a Chinese restaurant while eating noodles. They're so fun!
Oh, and rice is totally easier to eat with a fork.
I only use chopsticks when I am triing to show-off.
Chopsticks are more versatile, but the extra versatility is not needed to eat.
Besides, I eat sushi with my hands.
I cannot use chopsticks to save my life. I always use a knife and fork but I continually annoy my gran by holding my fork in my right hand. I even use a fork to eat Chinese food.

I use chopsticks to catch flies in mid-flight WITHOUT CRUSHING THEM.
Someone's been watching too much Karate Kid, bless poor Pat Morita's soul.
I use whatever you are supposed to use to eat something. This tends to be chopsticks for most.
Spork > all. Sfoon is alright, but not as cool.
Chopsticks are trivial. I asee no point - nor advantage to using them. Overall, take the middle man out of it and let your face to all the work.
What the hell is a sfoon? D=

I use a knife and fork for every food, I also use the fork upside down and scoop up things with it, and I have an odd habit of using the knife and fork in the oppsite hands, ie, im right handed, yet I use the fork in the left. This confuses many xD
Ive had people try to make me use the fork "properly", as in not upside down, but I found it incedibly unpractical and stupid. To HELL with manners and all, I'll eat the way I know how to eat, its not messy like eatin with hands, so whats the fuss about?
Ive tried using chopsticks, but I suck at using them. Also, why go out of my way to eat something with something else, when a spoon, knife and fork can be used for anything?
EDIT: Yeah, wtf a sfoon? I kinda know what a "spork" is, but a sfoon?
I really don't recall ever seeing metal chopsticks. Seeing as Asian food is my favorite, that is kinda weird. o.OOriginally Posted by Miriel
The place I get sushi that doesn't have chopsticks is the school cafeteria. xD They actually have pretty good pre-packaged spicey shrimp rolls.
I only ever use a fork when I eat, and if it's a burger/pizza or something, I'll use my hands. Chopsticks are easy to use, but require to much effort. I'd rather spend time enjoying my food that trying to get it into my mouth.
I was brought up to use the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right. Part of being British I suppose. At my local Chinese restaurant you have to go and get chopsticks, the tables are laid with knives and forks.

No, that's absolutely correct - if you are right handed, you put your knife in your right hand.

It's not "proper" to scoop things up with a fork. Ettiquite. You have to actually get it on the spikes at the end and put it in your mouth. And you are supposed to hold the fork in the opposite hand of your dominant one, so that the knife is used for cutting (i.e., steak).
However, in the States, most people put down the knife, and switch the fork into their dominant hand in order to eat. And as an American, I can safely say, that putting the knife down and switching your hands, is un-lazy and the absolute LEAST AMERICAN WAY TO EAT THINGS. YOU SPEND MORE TIME PUTTING THE KNIFE DOWN THAN EATING YOU USELESS TOOLS.
I've heard however, that Eruopeans don't switch hands while eating, which would explain why we (Americans) do switch hands.
And for the people that have no idea that there are metal chopsticks, YES there are metal chopsticks. They suck and destroy the taste of the food that you attempt to eat. And much heavier, and it feels very odd to handle. Plastic/wooden > metal.
And a sfoon is is like a spork, except that it is more like a fork than a spork.
Spork: Handle, Spoon Bowl, Fork ending
Sfoon: Handle, Fork incline but closed like a spoon, Fork ending
Sffons are discouraged to be used, as they amount to very little, and somewhat impractical.
