Handling Chopsticks & Chopstick Etiquette in China
August 22nd, 2008
When using chopsticks it is ok to rub them together to get rid of the fraying wood but you will not need to do this in a smart restaurant. If you drop your chopsticks on the table or onto the floor don’t pick them back up as you well be given a new pair. If your chopstick skills are not very good and you drop your food on the table say “woops!” and leave the food where it is. But most of all NEVER leave your chop stick stuck in the bowl vertically as this represents death. When resting, place them on the chop stick rest or on the bowl. Once finished place them together on the side of the bowl or beside the bowl.
