It's easier to eat Asian food with a spoon, fork, and knife instead of chopsticks.

It's easier to eat south Asian and Indian food with a spoon instead of hands.

But it is not easier to eat Western food with chopsticks or hand.

Why should Americans be expected to use chopsticks when eating Asian food, but foreigners have no problem going to America and eating with silverware instead of hands or chopsticks?

Even when they eat traditional food in America, they will eat it with silverware instead of chopsticks or hands.

So... you're mad about not being able to use chopsticks?

I'm 'murrican and, like most anons here, grew up eating at Japanese, Chinese, & Korean restaurants. Most anons who actually like food know how to use chopsticks, and appreciate the fact that they're fucking awesome with certain foods (like the ones that come cut up into bite size pieces, and being able to take a bite of exactly what you want is more important than shoveling food into your face hole).

It is easier to eat ramen with chopsticks because the noodles are softer than spaghetti. Sometimes I use a fork sometimes I use chopsticks. It's easier to use the chopsticks so the noodles don't hit you in the face. If I'm ordering take out and they give me wooden chopsticks I'm going to use those so I don't have dishes.

How is it easier to eat north Indian food which has rotis with a spoon or fork. The gravies are typically thicker and meant to be scooped up with the rotis. As for south Indian food there are spoons on the thali for some things but most people prefer to have the rice with their hands.

As a linguist, it's interesting that you bring up language in terms of relative difficulty.
Languages aren't rated by difficulty-to-learn in absolute terms. They're rated by difficulty relative to the learner's native tongue/s IE how similar the new language is to the native language.
Someone who grows up speaking English is kind of screwed when it comes to picking up a new language without instruction because English is generally unlike any other language being a bastard tongue altogether. Of all national languages, it's most similar to Dutch. However, a native English-speaker wouldn't be able to pick up a Dutch newspaper or read a Dutch wikipedia article or a Dutch recipe book, for example, and be able to make out what it says, even an educated one.

Someone who grew up speaking Italian, however, can read Spanish and Portuguese with little-to-no trouble, and an educated Italian-speaker can do the same with French, Catalan and Romanian, as well, without any training or instruction and though being unable to speak any of them.

cutting food up into bite-sized portions before eating it isn't childish.
