I was eating at my favorite sushi bar again tonight. Unfortunately I got a bad pair of those pull-apart-wooden-popsicle-stick-rejects that split in the wrong place and left little fibers all along the length.
I should have asked for a new pair once I noticed that my attempts at "deburring" them were not very successful. I think I nearly started a fire by rubbing them together so much.
I did a good job of roughing up my index finger during the meal, though /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
Luckily I didn't get a splinter /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon6.gif
This doesn't happen very often, but my restaurant's 'sticks are never as nice as the lacquered ones I've used before.
Why does every sushi bar in Texas and Colorado have cheap wooden chopsticks? What if your favorite steak house gave you a wooden spork to eat dinner with?
"Excuse me, waiter, but you seem to have given me a wooden spork instead of a proper metal utensil."
"Yes, sir. It's tradition. Plus, you know it's clean; look at the nice paper wrapper it comes in..." /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
(and it's not like most places would steam sterilize the metal utensils anyways)
Anyone else run into this problem? How do you prepare your eatin' out 'sticks?
Maybe I should just bring my own from now on...
