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
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.
Nah it's noodles, chopsticks just feel right with it.
I firmly believe sushi should be eaten with hands.
Can't use chopsticks, eh?
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.
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
