But this time we will be dining with the gold plated chopsticks
I beg to differ. Gold plated sticks are heavy and slippery. Disposable is the way to go IMHO!
Well, he mentioned "gold plated" not "solid gold" so shouldn't be heavy. We'll be able to afford solid gold starting from $100k+
Gold plating bamboo sticks isn't really practical though is it?
@OutOfMemory I'm a fan of disposables, and I wash them too! Although real disposable sticks (the ones that get broken in on first - and only - use) are too short and ugly to reuse.
My favorites are Japanese style wooden sticks, with pointy tips, a little shorter than the Chinese blunt ones. The best ones have grippy tips and are sanded.
Ha! I'm not even that educated about chopsticks to know that there are Chinese and Japanese ones
So we have only Japanese style over here, i've seen Chinese ones on media, but i would hae a hard time using them, i guess
Had the short ones at some asia takeaway one time, i called them "emergency chopsticks".
If i'd really wanted to have gold plated sticks, i would not want them to be all golden, but black grip and tip, with an embossed (dragon) style middle section in gold, near the grip, with long, ebony-like, black tips.
Shit, i feel really hungry now
