Chopsticks (paging Bob)

I don't think there is cheese to eat with chopsticks, so instead I'll stab some swiss & cojack bites with toothpicks for you. Enjoy.

First, Mr. Lights & Mr. Weltek wear the same cologne...well, used to anyway, before the cologne purchase of last weekend. And Mr. Weltek used to wear Cool Water, like vols. Only he would bathe in the cologne instead of spritz it.

Ok, back to my regularly scheduled blog topic.

I had to go across town for a training all morning, so had nowhere to keep my lunch cold. Thus I had to eat out. I decided to go to the Chinese restaurant with the mongolian bbq. I decided to eat with chopsticks, which presented a dilemna at two points during my meal. How do you eat things larger than one bite? For example, I had an extremely large piece of sushi. Definitely a two-biter. I picked it up with the chopsticks and bit it in half. The rest fell apart & onto my plate. Then, I had a long slice of chicken that was a three biter. Do I pick up the large piece with the chopsticks & nibble a bit off, placing the rest on my plate? What's the protocol for this? Bob should know.

Any and all sushi should be eaten in one bite. Gnawing off half a piece of sushi is actually rude.

This factoid brought to you by the post doc in my old lab who spent 3 years in Japan.


I get around this by sitting only with Caucasians withy my back to the rest of restaurant.

Oh, and the pice of chicken was two large, so the chef should be beatan soundly with a large turbot.

Breezy, you lay on the table with you mouth open & catch what I drop, ok? We'll make a great team.

Of course, Bob would probably say THAT was rude, too.

Bob, thank you for the information. I guess I'll eat the giant sushi like a pig & beat the chef next time I see him.

I can't use chopsticks to save my life, let alone eat with.

My sister in Hawaii eats with chopsticks all the time. She can usually somehow sever a large piece of meet by pushing it apart with her chopsticks, using just her chopsticks hand.

I don't know about the sushi thing.
