I can use chopsticks, but prefer fork and spoon
-
In a "real" Chinese restaurant I sometimes do that, never in a buffet style place.
-
No, never really got the hang of it! lol +5 Best, Jonathan

Yes, but before I use my Tomahawk to chop down everything to bite size chunks!!
-
Yes I use them :D
-
no
-
Not for the soup, but otherwise yes.
-
No. I tried many years ago, but it is simpler to use cutlery.
-
No, too much hassle for me.
-
My hand just doesn't get it.
-
If I was Chinese and brought up to use them then probably I would, but why try to use something that does not fit into our own food culture and is less effective? When I visit an Indian restaurant, neither do I eat this by picking the food up in my hands. A knife and fork is much easier.
-
No . . . too much trouble.
-
My co-worker asks for chopsticks when I pick up his lunch at the take out but I never see him using them... hmmm.. wonder what he is doing with those chopsticks. Me, no, I prefer a nice stainless fork.
-
Yes I do
-

-
Yes, I do.
-
Always :)
-
no, i just shovel general tso chicken in my mouth with a fork
-
Nop I dont have the patients
-
Why is it that chinese people use chop sticks when there staple food is rice?
-
No. Keep in mind that in parts of Asia, chopsticks are used as a way to guide food to the mouth, with the bowl brought to the face. Chopsticks are not very efficient if lifting the food from the bowl or plate.
-
Always :-)
-
I did once and all the chinese people starting laughing at me. I was slightly embarrassed and just used my knife and fork after that :)
-
I do, mainly to entertain my granddaughter.....She thanks it's cool.
-
Sure. I always use chopsticks.
-
No. I cant get the hang of them! I just want to eat! LoL
-
Yep. It's part of the experience ^^
-
They are a waste of time,and I always use a spoon and fork.
-
Yes :).
-
Absolutely. And I won't eat at a Chinese restaurant that puts out forks and knives by default, that means they're not authentic, and they're serving chow mein and moo goo crappo.
-
Yes, they're fun to use anyways.
-
Sure. And we use them at home when we eat Chinese food as well.
-
Of course! LOL
-
Yes we do. I learned how in Taiwan and taught my lady. The food tastes better as that is how it was intended to be eaten. +5
-
Yes. I prefer to use the ivory ones my grandfather brought back from China in the 1930's. +3
-
Yes but only once .
