I've been using chopsticks for years even in Canada. They are much more elegant to eat with than hacking away at a piece of meat at the table with a knife and fork.

One of the questions i always get asked here in China is "can you use chopsticks" and when people eat with me for the first time they watch amazed that i can use them.

I always reply "every foreigner i know in China can use chopstick but i know 2 local Chinese people that can't" True story.

But that interesting chopsticks trivia.
