As Stephen Stills once said "Love the one your with"
After living in the Far East for 16 years I find that every country
has it's own ways of
stuffing food down..
Chopsticks...............
1. Japanese- bamboo and wood, and almost never see any other utensil
on the table. (they would
almost rather pick up their food with their
fingers before using a fork)
2. Korean - metal and somewhat pointed (Good for stabbing in
frustration) they also like to use
large metal spoons.
3. Chinese - Long bamboo or wooden chopsticks..not sharp..long enough
to think they might
be scared of what their eating....believe me
they are not.
AND HERE's THE GOOD NEWS...I just returned from one month in Japan
(Tokyo and Okinawa - diving trip) and I saw hot peppers in every
supermarket I hit...They even had some Habs...(about $3.80 a pound)
So...it's nice to have something familiar to eat with and it would be
nicer to have someone to cook that
food that you would have to make that choice of what you were going to
eat with..
BUT it's always good to "Love the one your with"
