Fork? Chopsticks?

What is wrong with you people!

All the Chinese people I know use spoons to eat fried rice.

Yeah, all the Chinese restaurants at home (the good kind with dead piglets and ducks in the window, mostly Asian customers, and Chinglish menus) bring a spoon with fried rice. That or eat family style, bring your bowl to your mouth and shovel it in!

Damn, now I am all depressed as there's only dodgy english-style chinese takeaways here [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

ads,

"I'm surprised that this hasn't got any attention. Personally I think it would be really, really interesting to do this and see their reaction."

It didn't get attention because it was a retarded question. What are you going to do, give some Chinese guy who orders a steak some chopsticks? Retarded. Giving Chinese people chopsticks in a Western restaurant in a Western country is not interesting, it's idiotic.

Funnily enough, while going through my stand-up routine in the shower this morning after reading this thread, this was exactly the situation that presented itself. I got a big laugh from the crowd as well.

Between having an asian gf for years and growing up in Toronto, using chopsticks becomes pretty standard pretty quickly. Getting the "want fork?!" question at the noodle bar in every casino has been one thing, but laughing at people purposefully trying to use a fork as some social statement against my relationship has been a fun ride.

When some ugly chinese guy comes to my table and sees me with my gf, I (and only myself) often get asked if I want a fork. Sorry dude, I TOTALLY know my gf would be falling all over you if it weren't for this one white guy you're trying to shoot down by angrily handing him a utensil as you work minimum wage.. *grumble*.

Women are usually more polite and only give them on request, 'cept when I've gone to super traditional places and they either judge me or literally have little to no gwi-lo experience.

All,

I'm not impressed with your chopstick usage. Keepin' It Real requires the use of one of these or you're just another poser:
