After learning to use them they’re great. You still need a knife for large meats (or scissors if you’re Korean) but that generally why you don’t find those sorts of things at asian restaurants.I can't do chop sticks. I'm sure I could learn quite easily but the fact it's a gimmick and not at all practical hinders me. If I was ever stuck on a desert island and all I had as utensils was some chop sticks I'd just use my hands....
I would rather use chopsticks than a fork for salad any day of the week and I actually keep some in my work lunchbag for that exact purpose.
