So, I wanted to write about more substantial matters, but we went to sushi today, and it got me thinking.
How in the world did Asians come up with the idea for chopsticks? And how come it spread to so many different countries? I mean, when you think about it, wedging your food between two sticks of wood is a very good idea. Did western cultures start off with a chopstick device and then develop up to the fork? Just curious...
I personally think that the fork was a little better instrument - you can stab or scoop, and it works well with the knife.
On the other hand, if you ever watch a native-born Asian eat, they are just as efficient as I am with a fork. Perhaps more so.
