Who loves using chopsticks?
Katie loves using chopsticks! I use chopsticks for almost everything I eat. Growing up in Japan, I learned to eat with chopsticks before learning to use a fork! (Yes, I do now know how to use a fork. But I still prefer chopsticks.)
Have you ever tried eating with chopsticks?
(I don’t normally eat pancakes with chopsticks, but when someone asked me if I did, I had to try!)
If you don’t know how to use chopsticks, here’s a step-by-step guide:

Or you can always watch a youtube video. (Is there anything that’s NOT explained on youtube these days?)
Chopstick Challenge Time:
I challenge you to replace your fork (or fingers!) with chopsticks for at least one meal/snack per day for the next week. Or maybe you want to have a complete chopsticks-only day? If you do already know how to use chopsticks, try to think outside the (Chinese take-out) box and use them to eat foods you wouldn’t normally eat with chopsticks, such as waffles, Italian food, or salad.
Be creative and have fun with it!
Ha ha, I asked you that on formspring! I love chopsticks. I used them all the time growing up and I bought a ton in China last summer, so I use them almost every day now! I think I still prefer the Japanese style ones my friend brought me though, because they’re pointy.
I am so up for this! I just was telling my bf last night that I wanted to learn to use chopsticks! Talk about coincidence!
You actually inspired me to use chopsticks 🙂 I bought them for sushi nights at home, but I like eating salads and stir frys with them. It makes me eat so much slower, but that way I enjoy it longer!
Oh Katie, you know I’m going to participate :). I don’t have a blog, but I’ll be sure to let you know about my progress. I wonder if you could eat fudge babies with chopsticks 😉
I try to use them for Chinese food, but I’d love to improve my skills. Practice makes perfect, so I’m definitely going to take part in this challenge! Thanks for the kick in the butt!
McKella,
Haha that was you?!
That was one of my favorite questions 🙂 🙂
Kara,
LOL! Well, it would keep your fingers from getting sticky!
ooh chopsticks. i only use them at a chinese restaurant. can you buy them at the grocery store? are they expensive?
Due to having no patience, I cannot eat with chopsticks. I would never do that to those around me. 😉
I love this idea! Count me in! 🙂
