Good to see a fellow red-head to represent us, the repressed, oppressed and oft-maligned gingers.

Which to me looks dyed red. I’m pretty sure I see black roots …. as well as very black eyebrows.

Maybe, but I have hair that color, and my eyebrows and beard are duskier looking; I’ve been asked if I dye my hair because of this.

I’m all for chopsticks. Silverware is so barbaric. Chopsticks are like tweesers, you can pick out exactly what you want without stabbing at it. Knowing how to use a rice bowl is also more dignified as you bring the food close to your mouth.

I remember being impressed by something I read about 30 years ago. It said the world’s cultures can be divided into three categories: those that eat with metal utensils (mostly Western), those that eat with chop sticks (mostly Oriental), and those that eat with bread and their fingers, often three fingers of one hand only (mostly African and Middle East). Each category thinks the other two eat barbarically.

“I’m all for chopsticks. Silverware is so barbaric. Chopsticks are like [tweesers], you can pick out exactly what you want without stabbing at it.”
That’s mostly correct until you start eating with those tacky restaurant slick plastic sticks (what the usually Chinese restaurants use now so they won’t have to properly clean the wood/bamboo ones) — then try to pick out exactly what you want. And btw, chopsticks are used for “stabbing” as well by many Asians — it’s a “nuance” in using them you learn through experience.
And how many of you will turn your sticks around if picking up food that’s not from your plate? (Another nuance.)

Very true. If you go to Mexico you will get a knife and a fork but not always a spoon. In the Phillipines you will get a spoon and fork but seldom a knife. The spoon is used similar to a knife. Both love to use their hands. Asisn soup spoons make sense to me if used properly. The English will empty an entire tool box ful of hardware along side your plate but don’t you dare eat with your hands. Americans seem to enjoy eating their fast food as they are walking and throwing their paper wrappers on the sidewalk or where ever.

Stop using those tacky take-out, split-apart chopsticks! Get some good wood ones that taper enough so that the tips aren’t too big & clumsy to get your food and are designed well with color (or silver plated). And don’t let me see you using the equally bad plastic sticks! :-)

Your better asian resturants will often have disposable bamboo sticks that pull apart at the very top. They also filed circular and narrow at the tips which allows the sticks to be used similar to a fork if need be. These sticks are actually very good and I will often take them home with me.

Sorry, Bruce, but if you have to pull apart disposable bamboo chopsticks, you’re not in any of the “better” Asian restaurants. They are the hallmark of the cheap and fast-food type of Asian eatery.
Any Asian restaurant that has any dignity left will use roper chopsticks.
And, I have no idea of what you mean by, “They also filed circular and narrow …”

Correction:
Any Asian restaurant that has any dignity left will use proper chopsticks.
Sorry about that.

By the way, that looks like a pretty good Japanese meal he sat down to have. I’m not sure, but those two portions just above the fork look to be nice segments of Salmon, but not sure (looks too big to be Tofu — even fried) ….. everything else looks pretty good too ….. even his (sweet) drink. :-)

Hi. This is a picture of me.
I have no idea where you people found it – but I guess it’s flattering if anything, to be featured on this website.
Bummer I didn’t get credit anyway.
Let’s clear up a few things.
I am not Japanese; I am Indonesian, Chinese and British.
This picture was taken in a restaurant in CIWOK Plaza, in Bandung, Indonesia.
These were the only chopsticks available, bummer, but in my home we have silver ones.
I was eating Tofu and noodles. I don’t eat fish.
Also, sorry folks, the hair is dyed. Black is my natural color.
I don’t really know who I’m supposed to talk to but if you have any plans of keeping this picture up or posting ones of me in the future some credit would be lovely.
S-LumT.

Saqi, thanks for posting. Hopefully you will become a regular. There is a supportive community here. In time you will know who the regulars are.

Thank you for posting and letting us know.
I only thought it was Japanese food (not you) because of the dishes/bowl and the general style of the servings. I didn’t think of Indonesian food. :-) And interesting if those large portions in the foreground are indeed Tofu — I usually don’t see such large portions of Tofu like that (and fried?).
Again, thanks for your post.

Woah, Me Gusta.
And…I’m mildly surprised by the amount of people who find their own pictures here.
And, based on that Tumblr, Me Gusta Mucho.
I actually like the dyed hair, which is a first for me..
Also…A LOT of talk about the food on the table, lol.
