Why do Asians still eat with chopsticks?
Why don't we give up this senseless tradition and eat our rice with a fork, knife or, if you like, with a spoon.
But the spoon thing is impractical because it hits your teeth when you want to eat quickly.
Just the sound of people hammering against it is disgusting.
In Bavaria you don't see the majority of women in tight dirndls with thick necklines every day just because it's tradition.
Impractical traditions actually abolish themselves.
It seems that most Asians, and especially Japanese, make life difficult for themselves.
It's rude to eat there while walking, why should that be rude…
or chat a bit on the train.

In Asia, hundreds of thousands of people live on boats. They may have eaten with knives and forks, as the creator of the West said, long before the iron age.
But – and every sailor and canoe-driver knows that – it’s a bit overboard. Knives and fork slept, the losers could no longer feed, died and consequently have not increased.
The cutlery of the sticker users floats up and could easily be back on board. They survived.
I’m not an Asian, but I often eat with sticks at home, because you can grab it and the food doesn’t fall off the tool. The other day at the restaurant there was only this iron cutlery and I had ordered a salad. The splashing is more of a diet than saturation.
Spaghetti at home. Yeah, they can be patiently wrapped around the fork. But I was hungry and used the sticks to grasp.
… and another non-Japanese who cannot understand Japan.
The good news is: it can be absolutely no matter how and what other people eat their food, it affects your life either positively or negatively.
If you’re interested, for example, I’ll find sticks more hygienic than forks.
Only in very few Asian countries you eat with sticks. That’s how I’m getting seven, there’s about 50.
You don’t have to count the countries, but the sticks. You’re overwhelmed with that? Okay, so you count the countries.
In principle, I am also Asian, but of course it was not anatolia, Middle East, South Asia with India etc. or Russia.
China Japan Korea etc.
Why do Europeans still eat with knives/beak? Why not simply give up this meaningless tradition and simply eat with the healthier alternative with sticks.
Because it is easier to eat a carving with fork knives.
Not at all. The knife belongs to the kitchen at the owners of the sticks, and on the table there are mouth-crazed snacks. Have you never been Chinese before?
It takes forever to teach small children the food with knives and forks. Chinese children are already using time for their first foreign language.
Tonkatsu can also be perfectly cut with sticks;)
the fork makes it even easier, then you don’t need the knife.
I was eating Chinese, it also tastes and China noodles I can also eat well with the fork.
Only here, but no one cuts your carving. Even if I only use the fork to pick it up, I’ll just put the mouth-right piece in my mouth. The rice shovel, with my knife on the fork.
Why make unnecessary complicated, Pommes mi Stäbchen is a sweat.
Yes, time is using rich Chinese children in the “Communist” country for their foreign language and their studies. Other Chinese or Asian children work in the textile industry.
Unfortunately, I am not allowed to enter.
But Thailand and Japan should also be beautiful
Why don’t you finally eat with sticks and give up the ridiculous tradition of eating with knives and forks? The rummy, when people bang against the plate with their fork and then like to slip off is absolutely disgusting. Only most people without any motor skills make life hard for everyone! And then they’ll see the whole city full when they’re eating and falling down. Let’s get out of here.
I just wrote the same 😅
There’s hardly any one in the run to eat a diner (which is eaten anyway without cutlery)… what should fall down there. A small piece of paper catches some pigeon and is good.
I don’t give up the forks because they’re superior to the stick.
Ebony with Asia Food and with other food you don’t get far with 2 wooden sticks anyway.
Can’t get your pommes inefficient with sticks, in time I’ve spied 5 up once with the trident.
Just because you can’t handle sticks doesn’t mean nobody can. Your dislike is just mysteriously strong. Especially since you want to present it as if you are superior to fork use. Do you have to dig so deep to find what you can feel good for?
This will not be fair to people with real motor problems now 😡
You are so pointless to discuss because your complete acceptance is simply wrong and devoid. And as a solution, you’re throwing insults and angers around you.
But beautiful remote diagnosis from you little crusaders, now I’m up to:
You cling to 2 wooden sticks to make you feel 5 minutes, probably a lot of anime, and you want to follow the hero. That’s all.
Asians in Asia do not have to, before whom do they want to specify when using all sticks.
They just stick to old traditions because they don’t want to be noticed.
When one eats his sushis with the fork as an Asian (not tourist) at a sushi master left in 1800, and then still bites off instead of everything.
Then you’ll be as a fucking bag and you’ll be thrown out.
Maybe some cultural understanding. It’s not all about Western culture. What seems difficult to you is neither complicated nor cumbersome for people there. Just as the food is prepared there, it is ideal for sticks.
Mindfulness is a big topic in Japan that is unconscious in many areas. That’s quite healthy. Not without reason, they have one of the highest life expectancy in Japan, so they seem to be doing something right.
For your comparison with Dirndl: You’re comparing an everyday object with traditional clothes and this comparison, enormously. You don’t see japanese walking around the kimono every day.
I am not a European/American who knows nothing other than you think, but from the corner of Middle East. Nevertheless, I don’t do anything inefficient or what gives me no advantage from my culture.
Fork and knives don’t care if we’re honest and realistic.
The Basmati rice, the China noodles you can also forks. You can eat the sushi with the fork. Even though it is pampered by people who have stayed in 1800 with the justification of culture and tradition.
Therefore, the silly comparison with the Dirdl and because nothing better happened to me.
Now I have to spoon my food with the bread or stuff it with the hand just because you do it with a certain dish, no I don’t have to.
I take a bread in one hand and still a fork in the other hand than support. Go faster and more precise without mess.
In my opinion, Japanese are unfortunately too jammed in many areas, and they generally take the joy of life themselves.
This goes beyond respect and order, rather sickly and people do not develop social phobia for free.
Where is it not efficient? The typical local dishes can be eaten excellently with chops. So why reinvent the wheel and use cutlery, which fulfills the same purpose? Apart from that, it is much more sustainable. I would even go so far and say that cutlery is absolutely complicated. If it’s not a hand, it’s a quick stop with food. And to go you have either environmentally harmful plastic or impractical wood cutlery. In Japan you can just take two sticks and get clear. It has now prevailed there, because it is obviously efficient and sufficient for people.
There may be some jamming, but definitely not in this area.
And that you simply hold the goose in the train, I would also like to wish in Germany.
There are now cultural differences that must be accepted, so they are not superior to others. I work volunteerly for an exchange organization and one of the guiding principles is: It’s not right or wrong, just different.
Try to look over the edge of the plate and get some understanding of other ways of life. It doesn’t force you to live like that. And if cutlery is so important to you, use it. But don’t talk other people culture down just because you’re not able to understand or accept it. You’re not superior to anyone!
Why not? For you perhaps impractical, for people there as normal as for us knives, forks and spoons.
Besides, you can’t care how other people eat. 😂
Good job Sophialuji
Thank you!😄
Have you ever noticed that the Asian countries (which have not abandoned this “senseless tradition) have lower overweight rates? Yes, one of the reasons is the “senseless tradition” because they have not abandoned.
Other countries, other customs.
I find buds more pleasant than spoon and fork.
Stövchen??
I don’t understand you and your problems. I am German and sometimes eat with sticks!
Now, I guess I messed up your world image. 😂
eating with sticks is the healthiest and most tasty as the food does not come into contact with metal, so that the taste is not falsified. It also promotes the cognitive abilities of a person. All scientifically proven.
If everyone would advise to eat as much as possible with sticks, I will. Tastes better and better.
Why should a clean stainless steel cutlery falsify your rice and thus not a wooden stick? Wtf, in front of all cook on a metal pan 100x longer to eat.
Scientifically proven that you have first been on google, the bit of cognitive skills you can also improve when you’re shooting for 5 minutes.
Therefore, in particular, stew dishes in the tone vessel taste better.
Because instead of the pure rice you have the piece of steel in your mouth.
What do you think caviar is never consumed with cutlery. Oxidation.
If you don’t believe that, that’s your thing. I like a difference.
No, it’s against dementia.
Stainless steel is hygienic. In KR you also often get stainless steel sticks.
Besides, you don’t have to wash much
So I’ve eaten my whole life, because he doesn’t taste metal fork, who doesn’t know.
Then I guess your rice is just scrap.
Don’t remember when I eat my rice with fork and knife, but if you mean it’s not illegal.
Only that with the spoon triggered me, we can meet in the middle. You shouldn’t hammer his teeth out. He’s already hurting me to listen to how some people use cute.
Just as little as you should bite into the Döner aluminum foil.
Culture
And if the new culture becomes cutlery?
Or does a Kutlur block that there were thousands of years ago the change forever?
