After thousands of years, why do Asians still eat with chopsticks, when they know spoons and forks are more efficient?
I tried it! Its impossible to eat soup with two wooden sticks!

Barbarism is always innocent ignorance, isn't it?
Until just 2,300 years ago, when we were eating with chopsticks and spoons, you would carry spaghetti to your mouth with your hands and stab your neighbor with a hunting knife.
Don't worry, we have spoons before you use them.
And the table manners are different in the east and the west.
This means that each dish developed differently. In other words, the way of cutting and cooking food is also different from those in the area of spoon and fork.
So we don't have any trouble with meals just with chopsticks and spoons.
Can you believe that others continue to do things inefficiently just because "tradition"?
You must be the one who deserves that cute statement.
And one more thing, Asia means a very large area ... didn't you know that?
In some countries, chopsticks made of materials other than wood are more common.

After thousands of years, you still don't get that not all Asians use chopsticks and no chopstick using person would use those for drinking soup but I guess you're one of those people who can use a fork efficiently to do so..

Tradition. And they don't eat soup with chopsticks. I guess you have never eaten soup in a Chinese restaurant. Spoons are provided.
