Is it liberals trying too hard to be PC or for practicality?
thoughts..

I am as Conservative as they come, and choose to "attempt" to respect other cultures by learning a few language phrases or learning to use chopsticks.etc when eating ethnic food.

Stupid thread, and have lost valuable time/energy responding to it.

It just seems like the person is trying too hard imo. I respect the hell out of the scottish but you wont ever see me wearing a plaid skirt.

yeah cuz cross dressing is totally in the same league as using different food utensils

This is almost like sitting on the floor at a Japanese joint.

I actually go 50-50 with the chopsticks. If that's what they bring, that's what I use. I actually prefer chopsticks when eating sushi or a rice based dish.

Oddly enough, I was in Japan and China in September. I didn't use chopsticks there because they always brought us western utensils. I don't speak more than 20 words of Japanese and less than 10 words in Mandarin so I just didn't bother.

It's a simple matter of using the right utensil for that food.

Have you ever tried to eat sushi with a fork? It's beyond awkward.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. When at home, do what you do. An American eating with chopsticks at a Chinese restaurant isn't liberal. What would be liberal is forcing your entire family to eat Thanksgiving dinner with chopsticks because one of your guests is Chinese.

I try to use chop sticks every time I eat in a Chinese restauarant and fail miserably. Nothing liberal about it, just like to try new things every now and then.

Because a plaid skirt would clash with your birkenstocks?

Why do some people think it necessary to utilize chop sticks.
Most don't but some do.

It's just a little entertainment, that's all.

Personally, if there is a fork on the table, I use it. If I have to ask for a fork, I use the chopsticks.

My question is why no knives in Chinese restaurants? Been to two in the last month and neither had knives on the table.

I totally agree with you on this one. I remember being in college looking at those d bags eating sushi in the food court.

Here we are in the middle of Oklahoma and these wannabes are eating rolled up fish/rice circles with chopsticks, dipping them in soy sauce - as if this is NYC and they are the most cutting edge people within miles.

Really stupid.

I use chop sticks.

LOL

yes I have tried it. It reminds me of Pinesol.

As for the liberals in the food court. No, they are clearly eating it for an image. They are trying to be all countercultural -and its pretty obvious. I knew it then, and it holds true today.

Pick the damn thing up with your fingers and take a fricken bite. Stop trying to be Yoko Ono with the damn sushi.

I am being trolled with theses comments, right?

Right?

The pinesol in the food court was for maintenance to clean the floors with. You shouldn't have been dipping your sushi in it.

Your first mistake was eating sushi in a mall food court. Gross.
