There are foods that just don't hit the same if you don't eat them with chopsticks.

Ever tried to eat sushi with a fork? It just feels wrong.

But if it's a rice bowl, screw the chopsticks. Gimme a spoon.

Spaghetti with a fork fesls wrong

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Yeah it is much better when you suck them in one by one through a drinking straw

Spaghetti with everything feels wrong. The form factor is simply bad. It's not like a garden hose, where you need it to be that long.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Nah it's noodles, chopsticks just feel right with it.

I firmly believe sushi should be eaten with hands.

It’s how it’s eaten. Usually.

I highly suggest cooking and eating eggs with them!

Japanese sushi chefs agree. Sushi is a finger food.

[–] BigDiction@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

Makes sense. A chef’s hands touched 80% of that piece of Nigiri while making it

Depends on the rice, sticky rice is really easy to eat with chop sticks, you can just generally grab anything and get a chunk. Medium sticky you can scoop up but non sticky/liquid sauce is a non-starter.

I used to eat sushi with a fork and it is possible. But that's really about the only food that's easier to eat with chopsticks than fork and knife.

I eat sushi with a fork at least once a week
