I dated quite a few Asian gals who essentially ignored this flaw in my personality. My little girl could use chopsticks at 3, I never learned [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

First step is the bottom chopstick. Grasp it so that there is pressure between the base of your thumb and around the first line of your middle finger as such:



This leaves the top of your thumb and index finger completely free to grasp and control the top chopstick. The base one doesn't move, only the top

Dude.. I'm not BisonBison, what do you expect? I not perfect

All I'm saying is, when TT decides that only OOT can help him learn to use chopsticks, he's in hard straits.

Shoplift some wooden ones from a cheap chinese place, take them home and practice picking up stuff.

TT, I MSpainted you instructions on how I hold chop sticks.

In the upper panel you pinch the bottom chop stick between your ring and middle fingers and keep this still through the eating process.

In the bottom panel you now grab the other chopstick with your pointer and thumb and move it up and down with your pointer finger so that it can meet the bottom chopstick and thus pick you up food.

This is an unusual way to hold the bottom chopstick. Normally, it should rest on the end of your pinky finger and be partially supported by the end of your ring finger. (I can't do this properly myself without cramping up after 10-15 minutes)

OP, you'll gain my utmost respect if you can learn to use those foot long Chinese cooking chopsticks or the annoying Japanese chopsticks that are smooth and tapered.

I knew how to use them long before I met her though.

I have a slight adaptation to these instructions. I hold the bottom one against the tip of my ring finger and just above where my the finger is attached to my palm. I hold the top one with the tip of my middle finger and the first joint of the finger. If you can't get it with Hobbs, hope this helps.

I eat nigiri sushi with my fingers, but use chopsticks for other kinds and stirfry stuff. This reminds me, I should make sushi for myself again soon.
