How do you eat your Chinese / thai etc takeaway meal ?
Do you use chopsticks or a fork or spoon , I like using chopsticks and I have a spoon handy for the last few bits I can't pick up

Chopsticks, and always out of the takeaway carton. I never dispense into a plate.

On the subject of Chinese takeaway, how come over here, they're supplied in either foil or plastic cartons, but in America, you get paper pails like these http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/15/ma...-american.html

Chopsticks. Every time.
Noodles get dumped into a bowl, dim sum straight out of the box. |

I prefer the foil & the plastic containers we get over here, at least you can wash the plastic ones and re use them for other food storage

Even if you're good at using chopsticks, there must have been a time when you weren't. Not understanding the motivation for attempting to use them if it's not what you grew up with.

A spoon and fork - the same way I eat most of my food.

With a knife and fork. Spoons are for babies.

Agreed. Why make your meal more difficult to eat?

It all depends on what we're having. If we're having a few Chinese dishes to share and we've got the rice bowls out (I could never eat straight from the container, they do this on soaps all the time and it winds me up for some reason!) then the chopsticks come out. If we're not sharing and each have our own on a plate then it's a fork and spoon.
They don't use chopsticks in Thailand so we don't use them for Thai food, that's a fork and spoon. |

Knife and fork.
Even if you can use chopsticks properly a knife and fork is easier. I don't get the point in using chopsticks. The other week a bloke at work bought leftover chinese for his lunch and used chopsticks, he wasn't even very good with them, I swear it took him twice as long to eat it. Out of interest do the people that use chopsticks eat Indian food using only their hands? |

On to a hot plate and I use a fork. I can use chopsticks but a fork is easier. We don't use chopsticks for any other cuisine like Indian or Italian so why with just Chinese? It isn't any easier. Sounds a bit pretentious to me.

I use knife/fork/spoon to eat mine - I am no expert with chopsticks but can eat with them but I just prefer to use a fork.

The dishes I tend to choose have quite a lot of sauce / stock with them so I dump rice in a bowl, dump the main on top and eat with a spoon. ribs get picked out of the box with fingers
![]() I do use chopsticks in the restaurant though. |

Another one for fork and spoon. I'm rubbish with chopsticks. For most Chinese and Thai food you don't need a knife.
