I could use chopsticks to eat anything. However, Chinese people tell
me if they have a fork, they would (other things being equal) use
a fork, rather than chopsticks. Kind of a crime of opportunity.

There is one advantage, with (Japanese) chopsticks in a sushi place,
you can grasp the fish, dip it into soy sauce, without having to
"prick" it with a fork. They are like tongs in that respect.

Somebody pay me, and I'll eat a chicken-fried steak w/ sides using
chopsticks.
