I learnt over a few days because the shopping mall I work in has a Japanese restaurant just a few shops down from my workplace, they only give chopsticks and spoons, so I learnt to use the chop sticks. It's pretty easy to get good with them in a short amount of time, after a few weeks I was able to eat rice with them (noodles are even easier). The only problem is that it's sometimes hard to pick stuff up because the muscles used for controlling the chopsticks are weak and I get tired really quickly, if I could afford to go more than once a week I would probably be able to build up the strength in that part of my hand.
I'm not asian, and I wasn't brought up to use chopsticks at all when I was younger hahah, but I really do want to respect the cultures and eat food how it was meant to be eaten when I travel in the future to certain places - so I self-taught myself last year and got to grips with it quite fast I'd say. I remember not long ago, I brought my friends to a place for my bitrthday, and we were all given chopsticks and I just tucked in right away no problem and I just remember seeing them all struggle so bad I couldn't help but laugh a little bit hahahwhs. Some admitted defeat while I recall one managed to endure an entire dish even though they were struggling hahahah
Boss 😂😂😂 Of course the waitress and chef would look at you to see if you can use chopsticks, if you don’t look Asian (I assume Luca’s caucasian), it’s damn impressive if you can use chopsticks at all. To everyone who don’t regularly use chopsticks, please for the love of god, never use it to stab things like a skewer😅 Some older person would either chase you out of the restaurant with a cleaver or sit you down to nag you for 2.5 hours in a thicc accent😂
nah as an asian american who didn't grow up using chopsticks and has spent considerable time in japan, i've experienced the same thing. its embarrassing since i'm pretty good at chopsticks by western standards 💦 meanwhile, if you look like a typical gaijin they're more likely to give you a fork/spoon from the get go from what i've encountered? honestly who knows, but you can't assume he's white or even non-asian based off this alone lol
Used to have an issue holding chopsticks, until I start to learn without any assistance. Though thinking about it now, I wonder if people can notice the way you hold them means you were self taught or the likes.
That would be super embarrassing if that happened to me just everyone watching you fakeusing chopsticks 🥢 literally me tho idk how to use them but I pretend Ik
Yeah, I actually practiced using chopsticks in my hotel room first so I kind of knew how to use them before using them at a restaurant.
