Chopsticks!

Has anyone ever tried eating their meals with just chopsticks? No knife, fork, spoon, whatever, just chopsticks. This randomly crossed my mind while I was eating some stir fry (with chopsticks) - I realized how much slowly I am forced to eat because I can't pile a ton of food on it. Plus I enjoy it much more because they are little bites. Just a random thought I wanted to share. Obviously I know you can't do this with all foods (i.e. cereal, soup, etc)., but for other foods - maybe!!

I eat mostly with chopsticks, and spoons. We were raised with them in the house. I don't know why I prefer them, possibly it feel like less dishes to wash. 

Ive seen clips from where chopsticks are the utensil of choice and was surprised how quickly they can eat with them - but not raised on them, definitely a slowdown and an interesting idea!

Yep i've thought the same thing.  Unfortunately with practice you get faster!!!

XD I'm Chinese... and I've known how to use chopsticks since I was four. And yes, I have to admit, I'm quite proud of that habit (lol "instinct"). I don't even use spoons anymore. If you don't mind using chopsticks, and it helps to pace your eating and makes you savour the food more (it helps ME ^_^), then it will definitely get easier with practice.

I know I am a "shoveller" - even with chopsticks, I can shovel rice into my mouth quickly and with ease. *wince* Not to mention, pick up green peas one at a time at lightning speed. XD;;

Whoops. Got really off track there. Anyways, happy chopstick-ing!

I taught myself to use chopsticks and now I won't use anything else in Chinese restaurants. I think the food tastes better with them. Chinese cuisine is prepared with chopsticks in mind.
