Just an observation, every time I eat at a food court or asian places I see millennials using chopsticks instead of forks when they eat at an Asian place. While older folks are using forks or spoons to use their rice dishes. I was at a Japanese sushi place, pretty high end and saw some boomer folks eating a giant sushi platter with forks and they asked for tongs to pickup their rolls to serve. Around them, almost everybody else uses forks or hands to eat sushis.
I go out to eat ramen places and everybody uses a chopstick instead of fork and spoon.
I don't think I've ever met a millennial that don't know how to use chopsticks.

Maybe all of that smartphone texting gave them more manual dexterity, which made learning easier?
I recall Julia Child nonchalantly using a pair of chopsticks around 1961 or so, on her PBS show. She used them to deftly lift a single green bean from a big pot of boiling water, in order to test its doneness. Early pioneer I guess.
Older Gen-Xer with younger Millennial children. We all use chopsticks competently and maintain sets for use at home, too. I think my parents also use them. Not sure about my in-laws.

I have Gen X kids and they use chopsticks. I’ve been shown, and could use them once, but now I woldn’t remember how.

I'm impressed! But, do they eat with their hands at Indian and Ethiopean restaurants?
In other words are they showing off or actually trying to be authentic?
