Self explanatory title.
Yes, i learnt to eat using a chop stick. Although the thought of eating food in a chop stick intimidates people but it actually isn't that difficult as what you think it is. That's what i found out .
What makes it interesting effort is what you eat with it, do you eat rice, noodles with it or go with food which are bigger in size?
For a novice , if you try eating rice or noodles with chop stick , well forget it, you are going to have an absolute nightmare.
So coming to story at hand or event that happened today.
I went to a Japanese food chain along with a colleague of mine for dinner. This was the second time iam going to a Japanese restaurant. The first time i went i just ate with spoons but this time i wanted to try eating with chopsticks.
We had ordered dumplings to start with, the dish came in , looked awesome but tricky part was , i was given a chop stick to eat. My colleague thought me how to use it , on the first try it didn't work the way it had to and on the next try, yeps all up and running. I finished all the dumplings six of them in my portion without spilling anything. That was quite an achievement for a first timer. I was proud of myself.
Then the main course of rice with potatoes came in , it was appealing but instead of being a hero and try to eat it with chopsticks, i was conservative and asked for a spoon and a fork. Job done.
Although i learnt to eat using a chop stick but i would like to try and eat either noodles or rice using it. Well , next time i will try that.
It was an interesting experience.
Well, good post, but two points to note:
ReplyDelete1) The real use of chopsticks is in eating rice and noodles with them, that is what the Japanese eat with the chopsticks.
2) If I may say so, mind the grammar (and the spell check, while you are at it!) please; one doesn't eat 'in' a chop stick; you eat 'with' chop sticks, I guess. :-))
Good spot Suresh, written in a real hurry hence in rather than with chop sticks:))
