Title: Eat with chopsticks
Post by: Queen Victoria on January 19, 2011, 06:42:05 PM
Should Soph learn to eat with chopsticks?  Discuss.

If he already eats with chopsticks, should he learn to eat soup with chopsticks?  Discuss.

He should eat with his hands like they do in India.

Chopsticks are useless! It takes too long to eat with those things!    :angrydance:

I agree. They serve no purpose. Forks make more sense, and I can use chopsticks.

Best of all is a great big spoon! Shovel it in!   :2thumbsup:

I am good at using chopsticks. Years ago I went to Japan and so I thought I should learn how to use them before I went.

Yup, he should learn it.

Will make him eat more conscious of what he is eating.
In ten years that may help him prevent going FAT
And, chopstick food tastes different, when eating it with chopsticks.
I think eastern food tastes better when eaten with chopsticks.

My parents owned a travel agency and we as kids were taken to South East Asia to meet and greet business associates. We were both young and had to learn amoung other things how to "eat properly"  :laugh: before we went. Never forgot how to eat with chopsticks.  :asthing:

The thing that sticks in my mind most funnily enough was eating rice from their small hand bowls. it is customary in eating to bring the bowl to your mouth and literally shovel it in with your chopsticks and use it like a spoon. We initially were really daunted by this. We knew good manners and this tended to fly in the face of such manners. It as just difference in the way of eating. So we both looked at it like a kind of a silly perk. Like being allowed to do something naughty or whatever and got over ourselves.

When at an Asian resturant, take some home to practice in private. It's easy in no time. Can eat just a quickly with chopsticks as without.

I'm pretty good at using them as well, even though I have never been to Japan.

Here are some instructions on how to use them:

If that's too hard for now, some Japanese restaurants here have plastic clips that go on the ends of their chopsticks to connect them so kids can use them.  Maybe you could get some and practice with them.

The cat would be sitting next to you when you eat. No way she would go off to someone more exiting, when you have moving sticks in your hand.

It's a Jess luring certainty, using chopsticks.

She's been really fucking naught the last couple days. She's discovered that she can jump up at the bird thing and hang on with her claws, then cliumb up

Which obviously scares Zhukov so I gotta shout at her and stop her, but she clings on with her nails

So I have to lock her out of my room

Which really sucks coz I miss having a big fat Flo to cuddle :(

You should get yourself an older rescue cat. RSPCA has plenty who need a warm bed and a cuddle. And they will have character profiles on the cats. You can pick the most cuddly and lazy one. He or she will be very grateful. The bed and attention of a Sophster is a lot better than the cage and care at the RSPCA.

My mum won't let me get another cat. I would have got an old rescue cat otherwise
also would be worried about how Lily would be with her

How does it taste better with chopsticks?

Isn't there a Chinese Soup diet?  You can only eat (not drink) soup with chopsticks.  Nothing else allowed on the diet.
