I enhoy using chopsticks. It makes me eat more slowly, for one thing.
Plus...it's kind of an adventure.

Insisting upon eating ethnic food other than the way the Culture eats
it...is a little insulting, isnt it?

Asking for a fork in an Ethiopian restaurant...or insisting upon
flatware in a Chinese restaurant....seems to imply, "YOUR way isnt good
enough for ME."

I read Tarot in a Morrocan restaurant for a while and often got to share
the meal provided for the wait-staff. It was pretty cool. Typically,
the food is on big platers and everybody reaches in (RIGHT HAND
ONLY!!!!), scoops up a bite....takes some getting used to, but really
kind of fun.
