I am a European who never ate out in restaurants until my 20s and so I never really learned how to use chopsticks, as opposed to most of my peers who are semi to fully proficient in using them. For people living in countries where chopsticks are used, did you have to ‘learn’ to use western cutlery or are knives/forks inherently easy to use for everyone? Also, do you find it offensive when westerners request knife/fork at restaurants (or it’s just a piss take)?
