Learned when I was a kid.  The local Chinese restaurant was one of the first places my parents took me to.  The owner showed me how--including rice essentially scooped from a small bowl into the mouth.  There was something slightly "messy" about chop sticks--and my parents couldn't tell me to behave as long as the owner smiled and told me I was doing fine.  Good memories.

chopsticks here; I once saw a German couple using a fork and knife on maguro sushi. It didnt make me feel cultured. LOL

As long as it winds up in your mouth isn't it all relative.

Hell, I can't even get food to my mouth with fork and spoon without getting something on my clothes.  Can't imagine what I would do with chopsticks!

I tend to use a fork when eating Chinese but use chopsticks for sushi.   I've tried eating sushi with a fork and it's difficult.  Also, I find it easier to handle seaweed salad with chopsticks.  Hmmmm.... I think I need some sushi now.

Gotta agree with Andrew here.


Agonizing over what cannot be is an insult to what is.
