I want them too!
What's something that Mel doesn't know ..... hmmmmm.... difficult .....

The reason why Chinese chopsticks and Japanese chopsticks are different:

While both countries use chopsticks as their main eating utensil, Japanese style chopsticks have a a "pointy" end whereas Chinese chopsticks usually have a square end.  The reason for this is because the Japanese traditional diet (at least in the past) consisted of a lot more fish and the pointy ends made it easier to separate the fish flesh from the bones.

As well, a bit of Japanese chopstick etiquette:

Chopsticks should never be stuck upright in a bowl of rice as this is how rice and chopsticks are "given" to a deceased person at his or her wake.

As well, you should never pass food from "chopstick" to chopstick.  After the cremation of the body, the deceased person's relatives will place the remaining bones in an urn.  Often two members (standing on either side of the cremated remains) will each pick up one end of a larger bone and work together to place it in the urn.

It's perfectly fine to eat sushi without chopsticks and using your hands.  Wasabi should be placed directly on the fish and not mixed with the soy sauce.  The rice should not be dipped into the soy sauce as it soaks up too much of it.

ummmmm .... how was that?

Ha, Hicks77 wins! Fascinating info re chopsticks, which I never learned to use properly, but I guess nowadays there are 10,000+ YouTube videos that will teach you.

It will take me 30+ days to get these out and I'll throw in a few more.

Pls PM me your address and forward whatever posters you don't want to Wormie, who, like Trump, doesn't like reading!

Thanks so much Mel!  Very generous of you, I'll PM you my details.  Cheers again
