My brain breaks a bit when I see my Vietnamese in-laws use chop sticks to eat a plate of spaghetti on the odd night I do the cooking, even though I know there's nothing technically wrong with that

Especially any noodles. I love Vietnamese food, and because pasta wrecks my gut I eat a lot of rice vermicelli with my pasta sauce. I also eat a lot of Asian food in general if I'm ordering it, and I don't want to waste the chopsticks every time so I keep them around. You can cut a steak with a knife while using chopsticks no different than a fork. Mashed potatoes easier to eat than rice. Dont cut the carrots into tiny chunks, and don't really eat a lot of peas because they are basically a net zero nutritionally (but peas and carrots feature prominently in a lot of Asian cuisine as well).

Just as far as if you're going to carry around a utensil it maybe doesn't fit as nice in a pocket. And I feel like I can eat almost anything with chopsticks as a fork. Sometimes forks suck too, like getting a hard carrot out of a salad and it slips out and bounces around. I also just find I eat slower and less. You can shove a lot of food that you dont really need to eat because you don't realize how much youve eaten so fast.
