Why do people feel the need to eat Chinese with chopsticks?!


Question:

Why do people feel the need to eat Chinese with chopsticks?

Why are people so pretentious with this? I don't eat with Mexican or Indian food with my hands. Why do people feel the need to do this? What is it with eating with two sticks? If people ate with two sticks all the time then I might overlook it. I know trying something "new" is ok, but if you eat with a fork and knife 99% of the time, have tried the sticks, why stick with it when it's not you.

Oh WOW! Now I HAVE HEAR IT ALL! That the metal of a fork "interferes" with the food? LOL! Or when in Rome......LOL!!!!! SO does that same fork change "other" food? Like a steak? or vegtables? That is qithout question the DUMBEST STATEMENT I HAVE EVER HEARD!!!!!!!!!

Or that the food is cut into small pieces thereby making it "easier" TO MANAGE? LOL! YEAH, SO WHY DO WE USE A FRONT END LOADER WHEN TWO POOL QUES ARE AVAILABLE??????

What a bunch of idiots! YOU ARE ALL A BUNCH OF FAKOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I GUESS THE TINES OF A FORK ARE TOO "INCONVIENENT"? SO

WHAT DO THEY USE AS A SPOON? A BOAT PADDLE? AND A KNIFE? A DRILL BIT? LOL!

YOU PEOPLE ARE EITHER STUPID OR PRETENTIOUS......IF YOU LEARNED TO EAT WITH STICKS, GOOD FOR YOU!

If not, eat with what you know......stupid people!


Answers:

I've always wondered that myself - especially when its not etiquette shown toward foreign visitors and the person in question is just sitting about with friends.

I personally think its pretentious .
