How to use Chopsticks.

You can do this!! Learn to wield chopsticks with style. There are many great tips below. I was taught by my Mother in Law with pieces of paper screwed up into small balls before being let loose into the world. My main tip would be that beginners should probably avoid the more slippery looking items of food.

I've always preferred the fork over chopsticks partially because no one has ever shown me how to use them and partially because i was too embarrassed to ask. Thanks for the tips. Kam from Acne Medicine

Fun lens! Made me hungry?! Another tip for beginners is go for the big chunks. Rice with chopsticks makes you crazy!
