The most challenging part is to use chopsticks and eat chicken wings...

not big challenge, use one chopstick to fix the chichen wing on the plate and the other served as a knife to slice it to bite pieces. It is all up to how u use the chopsticks, the two sticks can be as magic as any other cutlerys as long as u have some basic mechanics knowledge. All right, I admit the chopsticks are not the best choice for soup.

my mother taught me how to use the chopsticks like a knife by stabbing and spreading apart. this works for most chinese food and i have used it with pizza.

she also told me about the dangers of eating with pure silver chopsticks- hot! however, her family is definitely chinese not korean.

i asked her about it again; the silver chopsticks were joined by a chain at the top. she complained about how hot they were to hold, and sometime later she had chopsticks that were silver on the bottom and ivory on the top, again joined by a chain. ive never seen anything like this. she would have been living in the hunan area at the time, although they were originally from shanghai area.

This is no problem at all, in fact very easy, as long as the wings are well cooked. My white canadian friends are all astonished at me eating wings with chopsticks though, thinking it's "magic". I would have more problems with a fork and a knife.

I actually use chopsticks for even the full english breakfast... kekeke

When I was a little kid my folks one day told me that I was not allowed to use a knife and fork again with Chinese food. I was told that I had to use chopsticks or go hungry. I love Chinese food, so the choice was a pretty simple one.

I must admit that I have trouble with muscles or pippies that are still in the shell. Those suckers can't be removed with chopsticks, but everything else is not a problem.

Chopsticks is also a very important part of Chinese culture, i lie using them , very interesting .

I use chopsticks whenever I eat. But I don't push rice into my mouth with them like most Chinese do. I only use chopsticks whenever I eat noodles. Also, I find it quite easy to eat spaghetti with a pair of chopsticks than using a fork despite what everyone else said.

I use them for Chinese food, and actually for all food, all meals, because I much prefer them to a knife and fork and just find it much more convenient. I use the Korean metal kind at home. I've tried eating practically anything and everything with them, and it is all possible really. Actually pizza is maybe one of the only things I've not eaten that way, but I'm a barbarian and just pick it up in my hand and eat, so no implement needed.
The thing that seems funny to me as far as eating habits go is the way British people hold the fork upside down, so the curve is upwards and the food rolls off it. You try to eat little green peas that way! The rest of Europe does not hold the fork that way, at least, I have not seen it.

Yes... I use chopstick when eating chinese food just like how I(generally) use fork and knife when eating western food or my fingers when eating finger foods
