Which brings me to the question are there any other eating implements other than knives, forks, spoons and chopsticks ?

I presume the Noble Spork doesn't count.

All at Castell E can use chopsticks; The earlier point about manual dexterity is interesting, and may be relevant to us. I'm an artist, Mrs E is a textile designer and weaver, and E Minor is a juggler, and handy at woodwork.

That strikes me as a serving/cooking implement, not one I would happily put into my mouth...

Reminds me of the story some time back where a young lady of the type that appears in Metro 'lost' a sex toy in her, erm, astern porthole. Recovery operations, the Metro cheerfully reported, included a range of kitchen implements and, if I recall, a pair of BBQ tongs. I have no idea if chopsticks were tried.

Faced with such a challenge, I would try obstetric forceps or multiple Foley urine catheters, to be used like a Fogarty...

Chopsticks feed zillions of Oriental folk so can't really need sophisticated dexterity.

I see them as extensions of the index and middle finger.

Unfortunately my left ulnar nerve is a bit rubbish from cycling and my right hand is very weak from MS.

I usually eat fish with some chopped up veg. for breakfast. I use Chopsticks. It's part of my morning breakfast routine so when I have porridge I also use chopsticks. I usually chop up some fruit to go into Porridge.

After being married to a Japanese woman for more than 15 years, and eating Japanese almost every day, I can use chopsticks.
Sometimes we use chopsticks even for Western foods.

I think we all know that the moment we leave those foreign shores, the locals breathe a sigh of relief, toss away the chopsticks and pull out the secret spork.

No. Hopeless. If my life depended on it I'd probably starve.
