Don't eat the guacamole they serve with it, it's fucking hot.

I tried wasabi once.Ow.

Antarctic Termite said
Unless it's fast food sushi in a cheap plastic container in which the wasabi is weak enough to be eaten straight out of the packet it comes in. Disappointing.

I actually like Wasabi though... :/

Derpestein said
I think my favourite sushi is either the shrimp one or the salmon one.Question, can anyone here use Chopsticks?

Who doesn't? It's easy as shit to learn.

Tbh, I probably would do that the next time. Was not impressed by sushi.

Try spider roll

Nobody has ever taught me. I have no idea how to use them and, frankly, no interest. Western cutlery is far superior.

Man, I live right near this one restaurant I've been going to since I was a baby. They have some really good, cheap rolls.

Mm, sushi. 98 Pounds anyone? Anyone?

My friend dared me to eat a serving of wasabi for $20, but then he decided he needed the money to fix his car so I didn't. I actually like it, tastes like horseradish.

I just ate my spaghetti dinner with chopsticks. The freshmen were so amazed.

Probably because it IS like horseradish. Both plants are in the same family, and wasabi is sometimes called japanese horseradish.

Chopsticks are easy to use, but I prefer knives, forks, and spoons. I only use them when I'm eating in a resturaunt, because it's polite, I think.

I like them for certain foods, especially noodles, way easier to pick up than with a fork. Chances are though, if you can't pick it up you can at least stab it. But I usually forget that I have them so I don't use them very often. I've got one of those packs of nice wooden ones from the grocery store, but I'd like to get a nicer pair. One of the Chinese students here has a metal pair with little elephants on top of them, and she can pick up a quarter lying flat on the table with them, such skill.

Stabbing food with chopsticks is impolite, if I recall. The purpose of chopsticks was to have a utensil to use that you couldn't harm another person at the table with. Therefore stabbing something with chopsticks goes against that.

Legend-wise, chopsticks were supposedly revered by Confucious as the most peaceful tool and thus they gained popularity. Im not sure the factual basis of this story but its interesting none the less.

Alas, I am an uncultured American.

*raises hand*

I usually eat Asian food with chopsticks, when given the opportunity. I don't think I've ever eaten ramen with a fork, now that I think about it.

It's not hard to learn. Basically you hold the sticks about the same as you would hold a pencil and then adjust your fingers slightly so that the sticks open and close... Kind of hard to describe verbally, though, now that I'm attempting it.

Has the fork been folded over a thousand and one times, Hank-kun?
