Funny thing is that I was out of high school before I finanlly started eating various Asian foods. And now, I don't even remember learning to use the chopsticks. I know there must have been some interesting and awkward dinners trying to get the hang of them. But any memories of them are gone. It is second nature to me. I had Japanese for lunch a couple days ago and I just drank my clear broth soup. It was yummy.

My parents would take us out to eat at some very nice basement places in downtown Boston when I was a kid. The only thing to slow us down as kids from eating more than our share of the shared food, was that we all had to eat with chop sticks. I soon became proficient at the skill of eating with the chop sticks.
Today the best food in town is found at the many oriental buffets and family owned Chinese menu restaurants. Went I eat Chinese, if I have the time, I use chop sticks. They remind me of the good meals I had as a kid and also of the years I spent in South East Asia, some of the best times and best eating of my life.
India is the place where I saw the most people eating rice with their hands. In Katmandu we were not offered chop sticks or spoons. Rice and the sauce was all considered to be finger food. Now that is hard for a westerner to get used to!
