Chinese Restaurants

It is because they use plate instead of bowl,some people didn't quite accustomed to eat from bowl. And if you eat in plate,it isn't quite enjoyable to eat with chopstick.
In my country,most elder and adult chinese use chopstick while the youngster go with the usual spoon and fork.
But,if you talking about japanese food,it seems that all people always use chopstick. Don't know why they didn't use chopstick for chinese food too?

I notice almost all Japanese and Chinese table food can be eaten with chopsticks alone, and their rice is usually sticky enough to be eaten with chopsticks. A meal there is usually prepared either in bite-sized pieces, or in servings that you can easily pick apart with chopsticks.

But it probably weighs in on influences, as you said earlier about Chinese kids.



Are you likely to be pissed off as well if you see some people using chopsticks while eating at a McDonald's in your area?

You should go to a restaurant in an area thats inhabited by people who only use chopsticks to eat their meals then to be satisfied. You can go to hong kong? Warning though, I believe McDonalds and other american places there are adjusted to suit the chinese taste so you might get pissed off as well... like what jmason said too

maybe off-topic but, dealing with cultural customs and differences is not supposed to be one sided anymore in my opinion. it is both the host and the guest's (not invader) responsibility to accomodate each other and meet each other's comfort zone whenever possible.

Any chinese restaurant I've been to have never had any chopsticks.

Westernization at work here.

Death to the white people!

Btw, reminds me that when i got sushi today, they gave me a fork and not chopsticks even though im Asian.

Last time I went to a Chinese Restaurant, it was about 3 years ago. All the people used chopsticks, except for the people that were with me.

Haven't gone to one recently, but really want to. I get take-out to replace going....>_>

You are pissed off because some people use forks instead of chopsticks. It's a FUCKING FORK. No need to be all pissy. Fish.
