February 6th
National Chopsticks Day
(My chopsticks:)
Put away the forks and spoons, for today is National Chopsticks Day. They may or
may not be new to you. But, for about 1/4 of the world's population, chopsticks
are the eating utensils of choice for every meal. Like western children, Asian
children, quickly learn to use chopsticks, and quickly become adept at using it.
To them, forks are an odd utensil.
Chopsticks can be made of wood, bamboo, plastic, bone, fine china or
metal.
In China they are called "Kuaizi", which means "quick little bamboo
fellows".
Chopsticks have been in use for over 5,00 years. They originated in China,
and are used in virtually all Asian cultures. How their use spread to other
countries is not known.
To participate in National
Chopsticks Day, use chopsticks for all of your meals. Chances are, you will
eat Chinese or other Asian food with your chopsticks. But, you can eat any foods
with chopsticks today.
Because my Jerry had been stationed in Japan he became a huge fan of
Japanese food. Got me hooked too and our children. Kristen Brian and Aaron all
learned to eat with chopsticks at an early
age!
