Only if you are good with chopsticks.
I learned how to use chopsticks in my college years. It’s not that difficult. I was born in Wyoming to German/Irish immigrant descendants so I am not culturally your typical chopstick user, but I’ve decided that I’m going to keep chopsticks handy for salads from now on.
They never said it was difficult. Just stating the fact that eating salad with chopsticks is only easier if you already know how to use them.
I totally agree with you that it’s easy, but many people still don’t know how.
It’s easier to eat rice from a bowl with a spoon than chopsticks imho
Yes, rice is best eating with spoons. I have no idea how people eat rice with chopsticks. They’re crazy. Actually I think they eat sticky chunky rice, so they pick up the rice in clusters with chopsticks and that’s great for them but that is not the kind of food I eat so whatever.
Burnnnn
I like my rice mixed with sauce
Sounds like your stabbing skills are sub-par
The fork tines are dull. Cannot stab anything except for the middle chunky part of the lettuce. Nothing else on that plate is stab-able and it’s driving me crazy.
Hard disagree. You can shovel most salads with a fork so unless you’ve got the plate up to your face and you’re sliding the salad in like you would do with a bowl of rice and chopsticks then it’s fork all day
My salads often contain corn or nuts. There’s simply no way the shoveling abilities of a fork is harder than having to pick up small pieces with chopsticks.
And even the big leaves, how is stabbing down once and getting 5 leaves at the same time harder than doing more motions to “grab” the same amount of leaves?
It’s perfectly fine to have a fork and a knife and a spoon and chopsticks with us while we’re eating, and use whichever instrument is best for any given challenge in front of us. Because I have been struggling a lot with a fork and my salads, not everything is stab-able, only the center crunchy part of lettuce is stab-able and the rest of it is not stab-able unless the fork tines are as sharp as needles, but they’re not, the tines on the end of a fork are pretty dull and they are not stabbing into this lettuce. And when I try to scoop it up it just falls off the fork. Don’t even get me started on garbanzo beans, chasing those around the plate drives me crazy! And stabbing them makes them fall apart. I am struggling and I’m going to bring chopsticks with me from now on.
Yep, this is absolutely true. Japanese people taught me this. But what totally blows Japanese people’s minds is okonomiyaki is best eaten with a fork.
The only thing for which I have found that to be true is sushi. Everything else is way easier with a fork.
It’s easier to eat with chopsticks than with a fork*
Been doing it since birth.
Asian gang where u at?
Rookie. Add enough dressing and just drink it like a vegetable soup.
Vegetable based salads yes. Meat based, perhaps not.
Speak for yourself, I use a spoon
this is truth, specially leaves and awkward flappy stuff, although there are some slippery salads out there
