Chopsticks: the new chopsticks
Chopsticks are, we at mmmStuff.com think, wholly underrated in the US of A. Perhaps this is because so often we think of them as the craptastic slivery ilk that come with grocery store sushi or cheap takeout Chinese food. But the truth is these little sticks are not only extremely versatile, but – generally being made by bamboo – quite renewable.
In much of Asia, these are used for not only eating food, but larger chopsticks are used as cooking implements. Think about it – they have the flexibility of tongs without the bulky weight.
We prefer the Chinese style – like these by Joyce Chen – with rectangular ends. They just feel better in your mitts.
This particular model is made from good quality bamboo that you can wash them with soap and water. They also come with little bamboo stands so you don’t go knocking them about (which I, personally, am wont to do…). Comes in sets of 2 pair for a mere $6.
