Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
I just came across a new blog (for me) called What Japan Thinks. As I am a lover of all things Japanese, this could be an invaluable resource. Of particular interest to me, on this visit to the blog, was an article on chop stick etiquette.The blog post is really a vehicle to share the opinions offered in two surveys about using chop sticks. One deals with bad habits that you can't break, and the other is about bad habits that you can't help but notice other people doing.
I thought I was sure to have bad chop stick etiquette, as I have never had any pointers from anyone beyond the very basics of how to use them, but I actually did pretty well based on the habits mentioned in the two surveys. I am really bad about laying the utensils across the top of the plate, but I definitely don't stick them straight up in a bowl of rice. Check it out, and see how your chop stick manners compare.

By 500 A.D., chopsticks had spread from China to other countries such as Korea, Vietnam and Japan. And as an Amarican, I think, now I know how to eat with chopsticks. But before that, I knew nothing about chopsticks until I read this book "The Story of Chopsticks": http://dealstudio.com/searchdeals.php?deal_id=104394&ru=279 , I think that is really interesting. Then I started to use chopsticks. It is nice to use them!!
