1) Why do Westerners use chopsticks when they eat Asian food? Don't get me wrong, certain foods fall apart when using a fork like sushi, but do you really need to eat sesame chicken with chopsticks? Give me a fork and let me eat my food.

I don't get it.

2) I like sushi, but it is the Obama of food. If you say you don't like it, someone will bite your head off (for all you conservatives on the board :-D

).

Is there a more pretentious food than sushi? It's good on occasion, but give me a nice juicy burger or pizza.

I laugh at all the morons who get sushi as a fast food meal at lunch. You see them struggling with their chopsticks while they balance their uncooked fish on their laps. Just give me a sandwich.

You're supposed to eat sushi with your hands.

So every food is now in a high school clique?

Sushi is never suppose to be fast food. It is suppose to be a business lunch with clients or a social meal out with friends when you have time to sit and really enjoy it.

Because that's what they're given? Also, here, you aren't Asian, they server will give you a fork. Why is this? Because a ton of westerners ask for it......along with chicken balls........................... :roll:

And as eypcrew2 said, sushi is really meant to be finger eaten. But show a little class and use the sticks.
