Today was a gloriously gross indulgent write-off (terrible for me eyes and body), but at least I did manage to make dinner and deal with the Doom Pile of Dishes. I tried eating rice with a fork to be silly and still found it incomprehensible so I googled “why do white people eat rice with a fork”. Apparently because it is just a starch to eat with other dry things you need a fork for: it is like a crumbly potato. Cool. Well, I’m still going to stick with a spoon anyway…

Because I’m silly - how do you eat rice properly with chopsticks? I can use them and pick things up okay but doesn’t drier and crumbly rice fall, or even if you get a clump isn’t it hard to pick up more than a little bit?
I’m guessing sticky short grain rice is easier, or when it’s mixed in with sauce and other food to bind it.

You use the chopsticks differently for rice. Think “shovel”

I use a fork at home and don’t understand why it’s an issue. Italians and Spaniards eat rice with a fork.

It’s not easy with chopsticks.
Quite honestly if I’m faced with it I either get a spoon or if lacking I have to hold the bowl up to my mouth and sweep it in with the chopsticks.

Most cultures that use long grained rice don’t use chopsticks, it’s either using their hands directly or a spoon (both are how I grew up eating rice and I dare say much of South and southeast asia). Ironically with sticky rice it’s harder with sauce as it tends to un-bind the rice.
