[quote=WINDENERGY,234314]Whenever my local hosts take me out to eat at a nice Chinese restaurant, the chopsticks are always smooth and long. It looks like they are made out of polished slate (or fine-grained rock). It's sooooooo difficult to eat with these sometimes,,,,,especially the seafood, it slips through the shiny chopsticks ;+(. I think whoever invented the Chinese word for chopsticks (Kuaizi) didn't have "happy" or "fast" in mind. "Kuai"can also translate to "straightforward" as well as "forthright". Which is probably where kuaizi originated from. In any case, I prefer mine made out of wood, recycled and with little notches near the grabbing end (it makes it so much easier to grab snails and shrimp!). __WINDENERGY__[/quote]
