Why 1.5 billion people eat with chopsticks
Summary
I’m surprised that there are a great history and a reason why people use chopsticks to eat.
I have had a bad memory of chopsticks. It’s only getting angry with me for unable to use chopsticks well and being taught that not to use it to eat is but the form and dirty.
However, those were not written.
Chopsticks are really well designed for eating small bites of food and good for picking up noodles. Wow!!
There are differences between Chinese, Korean and Japanese chopsticks. Chinese chopsticks will tend to be long and round, Korean one is flatter and often made of metal and Japanese one tend to be round and very pointy.1)
When Asian cuisine has moved from the East into the West, chopsticks went across with it. 2)
There is a history of chopsticks around 3000 years ago in China. It’s used for cooking. Knives and forks are also for cooking, though, into the dining room, it seemed to be the chopsticks. 3)
It’s because this is one of the things about Asian cooking. It often comes in very small pieces. By using chopsticks, it’ll be easy to do and it’s not necessary to cut. 4)
Having a meal around dishes is a good education and a very family-style. You go in with your chopsticks, you put it on your rice, and then you eat individually. It'll be important. 5)
In an old story, people take the same chopsticks and then feed each other in only heaven. In hell, chopsticks are too long to eat. It’s not good to stick chopsticks into a bowl of rice face-up. It’s like incense but it echoes death.
