I watched some youtube videos today and I realized that I've been using chopsticks wrong for years. I feel like such a fool.

What's the right way?

Chopsticks are dumb utensils

They really are. Especially for people who eat as much rice as the Asians. Chopsticks seem like the least efficient way to deliver tiny pieces of rice into your mouth.

Properly steamed rice usually clumps together, making chopsticks much more useable than you imply.

I'd enter tiny chat if it meant that I could watch Argo try to use chopsticks.

Even though I initiated this one, it still feels like a trap.

I thought this was a safe zone Ruddo.

Rank the regional foods:

Indian
Mexican
Greek/Mediterranean/Lebanese
Italian
Chinese
Syrian
Persian

These are big generalizations, of course.

Incredible. I'd be hard pressed to think of a time that I've felt this much pride to be an American. Astounding.
