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.

    I firmly believe sushi should be eaten with hands.

    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.

    The thing people forget is that the bowl is part of the cutlery.

    It's why the bowl is so small. You pick it up!

    Shovel that rice into your mouth like a pro chopstick user my friend. Stupid western table manners be damned!

    (I'm from a western country, I also dislike the silly rule that you can't bring your face down to your plate/bowl if you're eating something hard to pick up)

    Spaghetti with everything feels wrong. The form factor is simply bad. It's not like a garden hose, where you need it to be that long.

    It's not my least favorite, but it's a bit down the list. Penne is probably the best general purpose shape, at least according to these guys: https://www.realsimple.com/we-asked-chefs-which-pasta-shape-works-best-in-any-dish-11849324

    I'm a fan of rotelle and fiori as well.
