Chopsticks Are Evil

Tuesday  •  05:28 AM  •  129 words

The Amateur Gourmet’s Thursday Therendades really made my day. I downloaded all the songs and played them while I was cooking. It made my cooking today felt more interesting. The “Anti-Chopsticks” song has got to be my favourite of all. Why? Because I can’t use chopsticks!

See, when I was in Toronto a couple of weeks ago, I had a (very late) lunch with Troy and a friend of his in a Japanese/Korean restaurant. And guess which one of us was eating using spoon and fork? The only 100% Asian person among us, of course! Yeah, I hear you. I am a disgrace to the Asian community. Still it wasn’t enough to motivate me to learn to use chopsticks. Eating with spoon and fork is just so much easier!

Nah, you’re not a disgrace to the asian community.. ;-) you have an excuse, you’re not east asian where chopsticks are a way of life. i’m malaysian and i only picked up using chopsticks in my teens, and even so, the way i handle chopsticks is wrong. but at least i get the food into my mouth without making a mess (or much of..).. so i think it’s ok. :-) so happy that you’re having a good time in canada.
