Dinner was Chinese, but the implements were my own silverplate Korean. They're kind of flat, like linguini. If all else fails, stab your piece of chicken or veggie! Nobody's watching. Bullshit. They are, but they're chuckling, because they do it too. I love these chopsticks! And I like it even better that I get to use them in private! Don't even go there--filthy minds are welcome, but not mixed with dinner.
