A dumpling from the Koreatown location of Kinton Ramen in Toronto, speared with a chopstick. For some background on this, I cannot get the hang of chopsticks to save my life. And it's not for lack of trying. I have tried my best, and I have never been able to do it. I suspect that if I had to use chopsticks and nothing else in order to eat, I would probably starve to death before I ever figured out the chopsticks. This is the best that I could do with a dumpling appetizer that Kinton served Elyse and me, where I just speared it with one of the chopsticks.
And for what it's worth, I said that this counted as eating with chopsticks, while Elyse made fun of me for this, and told me that it didn’t count as eating with chopsticks.
