What is how to eat with chopsticks?

Here's a guide on how to eat with chopsticks:

Holding the Chopsticks

• Top Chopstick: Hold this like a pencil. Your thumb and index finger should form a loop around it. Use your middle finger for support. This stick does most of the moving. See: https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Holding%20Chopsticks
• Bottom Chopstick: This one stays still. Rest it in the crook of your thumb and on your ring finger. It shouldn't move while you're eating.

Using the Chopsticks

• Picking up Food: Move only the top chopstick up and down to grab food.
• Don'ts:
  • Don't stick your chopsticks straight up in your rice. This resembles incense offerings at funerals and is considered very rude.
  • Don't spear food with your chopsticks.
  • Don't wave your chopsticks around or point with them.
  • Don't use your chopsticks to move bowls or plates.
  • Don't hover your chopsticks over dishes, trying to decide what to eat.
  • Don't suck or lick your chopsticks.
  • Don't dig around in a dish looking for a particular item.
  • Don't pass food directly from your chopsticks to someone else's. This is reminiscent of a funeral ritual of passing bones.
• Resting Chopsticks: When you're not using your chopsticks, rest them on a chopstick rest (if available) or on the edge of your bowl or plate. See: https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Resting%20Chopsticks

Tips for Beginners

• Practice: Practice makes perfect! Use small, easy-to-grab items like peanuts or beans to practice your technique.
• Start Slow: Don't try to grab too much food at once.
• Ask for Help: If you're struggling, don't be afraid to ask someone for assistance. See: https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Eating%20Etiquette
