So embarrassed when I go out with my family. All of them click away with chopsticks, and this old buffer (only 67, Leslie - but old already) asks for a spoon.

Perhaps it is only the sophisticated and young at heart who have mastered chopsticks :-) ;-)

:-D :-D :-D AT DIZZI USING CHOP STICKS FOR THE FIRST TIME - TO WRITE :-S

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

We eat Japanese food a lot, and always use chopsticks ............... but there are times when my hand is not working quite right (arthritis), and then I do have some problems. Have only had to ask for a fork once ......................... food was too hot to pick up with my fingers!

The server at a Japanese place I used to eat at a lot (sometimes 2 or 3 times a week) once told me that sushi were "the original finger food"!!

That was after I'd asked how to eat the "house roll" ................. they were ginormous! About 3 times larger than the average roll

I inevitably drop my sushi when picking it up with chopsticks so I go Indian and eat with my fingers.

Even the Chinese do not leave much of a gap between the bowl of rice and the mouth.

I have not tried stabbing peas with chopsticks but did get told off for lining them up on my knife to eat.. it is in a poem I read so thought I would try it.. I was about 8.

Good for you Gwen lol

I learned to use chopsticks when in a Chinese restaurant in Edinburgh with a friend and her children, they were delighted I managed to do it, well I couldn't have little'uns show me up, now could I?
