I tried it once; faltered big time. I'm not Asian so our cuisine doesn't require it. However, I always thought it fascinating how people can eat with chopsticks. There's a certain flair people can have. Reference to Day Of 2-6-23 National Chopsticks Day.

Me neither. My tremors won't allow me to.

I tried it as a kid and horribly failed and looked like an idiot. Luckily it was at home and not at a restaurant that uses them. I tried again a bit older and seemed to fail more than the time I tried as a kid. It's safe to say I highly doubt I'll ever use chopsticks but that's OK as it's not a common thing in New Zealand.

I've given it a couple of goes, and not done a great job with it . Maybe I'll get the hang of it one day!

I have tried so many times over to use chopsticks but I haven't been able to get the hang of it at all. My daughter bought some for herself back in 2021 and started using them and now she is a pro with them, she has tried to teach me a few times again but I still struggle to get the hang of it.

If the object is large enough to grip with them, yes. Otherwise, I fail miserably.

I tried to use them as a kid and failed at chopsticks. I would also get use them when my immediate family ate at the local Chinese restaurant. I would also take a couple chopsticks home with me after to try and use them. Learning to use and implement chopsticks is on my bucket list. One of these days I will get to to trying and using them.

Nope, well maybe a little, I was going to learn more for my girlfriend but we broke up before we got to that point. I should learn how, seems like it makes some food eating easier.

Not even remotely. I also never really tried to learn as I am quite happy with my fork and spoon.

I was horrible at using chopsticks. I completely embarrassed myself the first day I had it tried out. I'm very okay with using spoons, forks and knife now.

No, I don't know how to use chopsticks. However, years ago, when I was in my teens I had two Japanese friends who tried to teach me how to use chopsticks but I couldn't learn.
