I also have a great deal of skill with chopsticks, and actually am able to eat a lot of Chinese/Asian foods more skillfully with them than a fork — especially rice and noodles ... they fall off a fork, but chopsticks grab them up JUST right. Yeah, I'm weird and I know it. It's interesting that something that is in America so identified as being part of Chinese cooking and culture are not so widely used in China, but I suspect that has much to do with the push toward modernization in some way.
