Its like an alien having been handed a knife and fork.

I love Chinese and Asian food and if you go out to eat such you often get presented with chopsticks…here be a problem.

Yes I can use them, just.  However I look on many occasions like an alien who had just been handed a knife and fork.  Chopsticks were for a long time alien to me, I just could not get to grips with them.

Over time I have got better but I still struggle.

I know I can ask for a knife and fork, but it is part of the experience and culture and it has taken me a long time to be able to use them.  Maybe I am special and nobody else struggles, but I just wish as a kid I learnt as some point to eat with them.  It would have made my life a bit easier.
