why farang/foreigners use chopsticks with Thai food

Thank you!

So why don't you spell it 'skeptik' then, if there is no 'c' in the Greek alphabet?

Just curious?

Good luck rewriting the English Language!

Quick report: I just ate lunch - a very nice curry with tofu, potato, tomato and onion, and rice. I mostly used a spoon with a bit of fork action. No chopsticks, certainly no knife"

I feel a new Batfish blog coming on.

My chopsticks, are made of ivory. Best material.

Mine are carved from the thigh bone of my Grandfather's favourite punkawalla.

mine are made of ivory as well. but only taken from the middle-piece of a baby-elephants- nicer color. I have 8 sets for my guests and use to change them every two months.

I was hoping, OP, that by now you might have formed an opinion - or have we all posted in vain?

Noodles are fun with the sticks, my wife is chinese and refuses to use chop sticks, says it for the peasants...

THere are many things that start a spirited reply on these threads and the way the "arguments" go is often acrimonious etc etc...but there is ONE kind of criticism that seems to be universally condemned a no-no observed by all but the most nit-picky and that is the "SPELLING NAZI" - it is made all the more pathetic when the criticism itself is not only erroneous but mis-spelt.

Had I been picking on general spelling mistakes as others have here (you included so I guess that kind of makes you a SPELLING NAZI too Mainwaring) then I would indeed accept the criticism.

However, I wasn't picking up people upon their spelling ability, just their choice of spelling.

American 'spelling' especially by non-Americans is not only unsightly, but pathetic and wholly unnecessary.

Apologies for my own mistakes, mainly due to being a tad busy today and having to thrash out my time wasting posts somewhat.

Of how unnatural and bemadding sorrow bleakopath hath cause to plain.
