  • *blank post*

    • Are u saying only asians use chopsticks?

      • oh stop being multiculti

        you namby pamby liberal.

  • useless for pizza.

    • and soup

    • just like chicago town.

      • YEA! RUBBISH!

        Worst pizza evah & i was excited by it... I actually perfer Ginos pizzas what cost you 99pennies

        • hahahahaha

          ginos are amazing. they're like the most artificial rubbish i think i've ever had. brilliant. did you go into the shop opposite the camber sands site? they sold them in there, if i hadn't stocked up on goodfellas in budgens i would've lived off them all weekend.

          • I didnt have any there because I had plenty of goodfellas from Budgens

            thank GOD for the offer.

            ITs also like a drinking game, however many peperonis you get is the amount of shots you need to do during the course of the meal, forgivingly this is only usualy 2 or 3

        • are Ginos

          they're always 10 for $10m made from 80% post-consumer pizza, and are great with sour cream and a close-by toilet

          • eh

            not 10 for $10 million, dur

          • those look amazing

            i'm going to eat nothing but those when i come to LA.
            yeah, not really.

    • I read this as "unless for pizza"

      I was gobsmacked.

  • CRAINE?

  • so you don't accidentally murder someone at the table

    and because they are elegant and beautiful?

  • It's an excuse

    to spill rice everywhere.

  • The highlight of this series of Come Dine With Me...

    ..was the Tory councillor in Newcastle who insisted on using chopsticks for every meal.

    • It does perplex me that one of that

      one of the most advanced civilisations, a nation that gave us gunpowder, fireworks, the compass, kites, printing and the mighty wheelbarrow; could only come up with something as useless as chopsticks when it came to cutlery.

      And their main staple is rice as well!!! That'd be like God inventing the orange and then giving us all flippers to peel them with. Fucking idiots!

      • Thank u very much

        you explained it much better then i,yesiamaduck, and got the point across brilliantly.

      • chopsticks are more effecient with sticky rice than a knife and fork

        • Use a spoon then, you Mong!

          :o)

          • And another thing I don't fully understand......

            is why don't chinese people concede defeat, admit they were wrong and adopt our more sophisticated culinary equipment?

            I understand that they are a proud, traditional group of people, but surely the joke is on them when they come home from a hard day in the factory and have to expend 5 times the effort on eating their noodly dinner just because they are too stubborn to admit they got it wrong for thousands of years and use a fucking fork. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face!

            I mean, we're more than happy to buy their cheap consumer electronics and knock off fake designer gear, so why can't they return the odd customary favour?

            • I'll let you into a secret

              The Chinese and Japanese have been using knives and forks for years. They just pretend they still use chopsticks so us europeans try to use them to look all 'authentic' and then they laugh at us as we drop another cripsy spring roll in our lap.

            • chopsticks = one hand free

              food + wank at same time? genius!

  • i agree

  • They make you eat everything really slowly

    It's very calm and soothing, actually nicer than ramming things down your throat.

    I wouldn't want to use them every day, but I can see their appeal.

  • Because they do

    I always find eating slowly with chopsticks fills and satisfies the appetite more than using a fork and then getting hungry again half an hour later, which is what seems to happen with Chinese food.

  • Oit...the Chinease have already had enough from Sharon Stone.

    Can't you leave them be.
