The power of novelty, I guess

Chopsticks are inferior to a fork I will not be taking questions

 

[Psychronia]

In addition to open fires, they should probably be very careful with metal, since those also cause sparks.

As someone raised in an Asian house, chopsticks are something hard enough that being able to do it was a sign of growing up. It does make eating easier though. Picking up small bits of food, picking out the edible bits from the inedible ones, and also picking up delicate things like tofu. Human brains are wired to judge tension extremely finely for the sake of grabbing things gently and chopsticks capitalize on that.

I do appreciate that the Japanese dish is still falling behind the European one. Though I'm not sure that's how it would have played out if it was introduced like this in history.

Also, are the noodles supposed to be softer and smoother grains? I get that it's boiled but like...if we're dealing with black bread, I always assumed it's a matter of wheat processing and/or preservation.

As someone who uses Chopsticks regularly as a colossal weeb, I disagree.
They are differently good. Chopsticks should be considered mini thongs, knife, and spatula hybrid. They are not a replacement for forks, and should not be used in the same way.

Right? I love using chopsticks, but I can't really use them with food that wasn't prepared to be eaten with it, such as things that have to be cut with a knife or slipery stuff.

 

[Jink]

The most unrealistic thing by far (so far) in this is people preferring chopsticks over dedicated metal utensils. Saying this as someone who has had a set of chopsticks for over ten years because sometimes it's fun.

 

[OSAITUS]

I would go and say "oh the Asians and their fear of forks jajaja", but then i remember when i was in China watching people really struggling to handle them, is not fear or "chopsticks are better" is just that is what they use so in their eyes, is the best choice, so of course they would put them as the better choice.

but this is standard isekay trope so i don´t really care that much anyway

 

[Basic_human]

Tbh I'm not really a big fan of when isekai fantasy manga push "Japanese food superior". But pretty good how people doesn't immediately do that here, cuz different place have different accustomed palate. Then the chopstick. Ya know fork can stab right? Even if the noodle thick they can stab it


Id rather see food like pasta get developed more, like different shape and sauce. But eh.... Japanese author do what author does.

 

[mahtan]

Well... hard to compete with Italy when it comes to pasta.

 

[ARealCoolGuy]

If I recall correctly, chopsticks were used because resources became so low that spoons/knives/forks were simply not available, so people found other methods of eating.
So if that were true, no on would pick up chopsticks, given that they still have their access to their previous cutlery.

"But we use chopsticks!"
But that's more a cultural precedent thing; the Japanese use chopsticks, so we do when eating their food as well. If it weren't for the other culture that used them, we wouldn't.

Those mangas treat us like we don't know what a pizza or pasta is. This whole chapter is about isekai villagers singing gospels to how tasty pizza and pasta are

not to mention black bread is made from rye flour and udon and pasta are made from wheat

if you have the wheat to make udon you wouldn’t need to eat black bread, you’d be eating white or wheat bread

 

[tibz]

I used to get annoyed with Japanese food isekai trope, but If I was isekai'd you bet your ass I would be making burger, fries and pizza.

 

[vandalbear]

pg15: Modoki-okonomiyaki ????? Thats quite obviously fucking pizza
