I fully agree. Crisps/chips are also great with chopsticks, no more flavor fingers.

But this is probably more an unpopular opinion in the west than a shower thought. It shouldn't be unpopular, but just look at the other comments. Clearly not a lot of chopstick users. And I kind of doubt anyone that claims a salad can or should be shovelled.

You shouldn't be shoveling a salad unless it's potato or macaroni salad. Maybe your thinking of coleslaw? Leafy green salads are nearly impossible to shovel with a fork unless you mince the ingredients into unrecognizably tiny bits, aka a slaw. With very little practice, eating with chopsticks isn't much different than eating with your fingers. In fact, there's a few things I can do with chopsticks that I could never easily do with my fingers or a fork.

You can absolutely shovel with chopsticks. It may take a little extra dexterity, but is far from impossible. It's really only harder if you haven't much practice with chopsticks. Besides, shoveling anything with a fork is kind of a disaster when you throw leafy greens into the mix.

That's not how I eat a salad with chopsticks. No stabbing, no shoveling; at the dinner table that is bad etiquette. It's more like "grabbing" a clump of lettuce and toppings mixed together with a couple "fingers", except your "fingers" are chopsticks. Most of the small bits stick to the leafy greens or are inherently wrapped up in them. I find picking those few remaining tiny bits out of the bottom of a bowl is actually easier with chopsticks than trying to shovel them on to a fork.

Good news! Eating things like salad, chips/crisps, fried rice, noodle dishes, ramen, etc. is a great way to get good with chopsticks.

2 demons for under a penny is quite a deal.

This is how I feel trying to order a margarita without added sugar.

If you're into that kind of speculation, you might enjoy "The Cosmic Serpent" by Jeremy Narby.

There's a lot to unpack there bud. You don't sound okay. None of that was in the comic, you brought all that baggage.

What are you talking about? The pink one has a line of scary warning symbols including a skull and crossbones just under the word humectant.

That Wikipedia article is surprisingly silent on Norris' support of Trump.
