There are foods that just don't hit the same if you don't eat them with chopsticks.

Ever tried to eat sushi with a fork? It just feels wrong.

But if it's a rice bowl, screw the chopsticks. Gimme a spoon.

Depends on the rice, sticky rice is really easy to eat with chop sticks, you can just generally grab anything and get a chunk. Medium sticky you can scoop up but non sticky/liquid sauce is a non-starter.

I firmly believe sushi should be eaten with hands.

Makes sense. A chef’s hands touched 80% of that piece of Nigiri while making it

Japanese sushi chefs agree. Sushi is a finger food.

I used to eat sushi with a fork and it is possible. But that's really about the only food that's easier to eat with chopsticks than fork and knife.

I eat sushi with a fork at least once a week
