What the... Chopsticks!!!
A lot of us have used chopsticks at least once, and by "used" I mean tried using. I for one don't even know how to handle chopsticks, and I just found out that there are even Do's and Don'ts when using them.

Do's

•  Place the chopsticks next to each other on the especially intended holder when you pause or finish eating.
• Take the food in each dish starting from the side nearer to you.
• A bowl of soup or rice can be picked up to decrease the distance between food and mouth to prevent spilling.

Don'ts

• Placing the chopsticks straight up into a bowl of food signals an offering to the deceased in East Asian cultures.
• Point or gesture with the chopsticks in hand.
• Stick the chopsticks into the food.
• Lick the chopsticks or bite the food off the chopsticks.
• Offer table members a taste of your meal using the chopsticks.
• Accept a bowl using the hand you use to hold your chopsticks.
• Take the food from the dish with the back of the chopsticks to put it into your own bowl.
• Take food from the far side of a dish.

At least now you'll know not to stick your chopstick into the food, the next time you go out for Chinese and if it's too complicated, rather opt for a fork.

Here's a tip on the correct handling of chopsticks:

• The lower chopstick should be placed between your thumb and hand, the end must be kept in place using your ring finger. The lower chopstick should not move while picking food.

The upper chopstick should balance on your thumb and should be moved up and down using your middle and/or forefinger.

Chinese anyone?:)
