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.

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.

Maybe they just liked the taste of sushi. Somehow I doubt you've ever tried it.

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.

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