    No, I'm not going to complain. First we are having sushi. Secondly its not like you are feeding me. So, let's just sit a spell and enjoy. Pass the Saki.

  • Hi Whistle6,
    Turns out this chopsticks v. fingers for sushi is quite a significant question!
    Americans tend to eat sushi with chopsticks, but by-and-large in Japan, most sushi is traditionally eaten as a finger food:

    "Using chopsticks to eat sushi? Wrong, wrong, wrong, says Trevor Corson, the author of “The Story of Sushi” (originally published as “The Zen of Fish,” Harper Perennial, 2008)."
    http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/04/dining/04sush.html

    You can even pay $105 and the author of this book Trevor will give you lessons!

  • Well...I am not sure I would pay the bucks to learn to eat sushi with my fingers! ...or the ZEN OF FISH either...

  • In a few days I'll come up with a retort that will burn like wasabi.

    If you think you are shamefully uncouth then I guess you are. I've eaten sushi with a fork and my mouth and I feel free and justified.

    Why sushi at all? Eat something else that smells like fish.

  • It's better to just skip the sushi and eat good food.
