Now, as far as I can tell, there is not one drop of Oriental, or even Asian blood in my family tree. Not that that would be a bad thing. It's just a fact about my lineage.
And yet, I can use chopsticks with the most profficent of abilities. In fact, when eating certain cuisine (Chinese, naturally) I find it is quicker and easier to use chopsticks than a knife, fork and spoon.
* A quick aside. Does anyone remember an early movie of Jimmy Stewart's called Pot o' Gold, where he's the nephew of a cereal manufacturer who's having a feud with a bording-house full of musicians? The musicians have a song they sing before each dinner called "A Knife, A Fork And A Spoon." And now I can't get it out of my head. But it's still a good movie.
I guess thinking of the origin of my chopstick skills, it'd have to have come from my Dad. Not that he's a master at using them, but since he was in the Navy when I was a small child, he'd bring back stuff from over-seas. And one of the things he brought back was a family-sized packet of fancy choptsticks. Thinking a little harder, I seem now to remember many, many bowls of Ramen Noodles eaten with said chopsticks...
Ah, Ramen Noodles.
Well, what do you know? Mystery solved.
So, are there any other non-orientals who are good with chopsticks?
In fact. Here's a poll!
I can use chopsticks to a certain degree. When I reach the point where the energy expended manipulating the sticks becomes greater than the intake of food I drop those puppies and grab a fork. I have often wondered if like American moms who use a tiny spoon to teach her baby to eat; Oriental women use toothpicks to teach their babies? Just wonderin'.
