Fork.

I'm hopeless...my 1/2 Korean Fiance and my full Korean friend tried to teach me how to use chopsticks and I fail.

It honestly depends on what I'm eating- if it's Japanese or Chinese, I'd most likely use chopsticks. Plus, using chopsticks makes what you're eating seems more tastier IMO.

Depends on the food. You will never see a Japanese person eating spaghetti or curry and rice with chopsticks, for a good reason.

I like to eat with chopsticks, because then the food doesn't taste metal, but it's difficult with the food we eat at home, so I usually just use regular knife and fork.

I love using chopsticks when in Japan. I seem to be able to use them pretty much flawlessly even though I rarely used them before I first went to Japan. A natural knack?

Saturday afternoon my cousins from Atlanta were rather amused when I had to go in search of chopsticks to eat my lunch. I tend to eat even non-Asian food with chopsticks when given a choice. I usually have a pair in my purse, but I had only grabbed my wallet & phone on the way to pick them up at the airport.

What had them smirking was that we were at a Chinese buffet!!!
The staff assumed that white people need silverware.
