Chopstick etiquette
Forbidden is:
- Placing the chopsticks straightup into a bowl of food; this signals an offering to the deceased in East Asian cultures
- Pointing or gesturing with the chopsticks in hand
- Sticking the chopsticks into the food
- Licking the chopsticks or biting the food off the chopsticks
- Offering table members a taste of your meal using the chopsticks
- Accepting a bowl using the hand you use to hold your chopsticks
- Taking the food from the dish with the back of the chopsticks (not used for eating) to put it into your own bowl.
- Taking food from the far side of a dish.
Obligations are:
- Placing the chopsticks next to each other on the especially intended holder when you pause or finish eating
- A bowl of soup or rice can be picked up to decrease the distance between food and mouth (to prevent spilling).[1]
- Taking the food in each dish starting from the side nearer to you.
Placement of the chopsticks
The correct handling of chopsticks goes as follows:
- The lower chopstick is to be placed between thumb and hand, the end is kept in place using the ring finger. The lower chopstick should not move while picking food.
- The upper chopstick balances on the thumb and is moved up and down using the middle and/or forefinger.
