Is it ok to use chopsticks using the left hand?

Question

I'm a left handed..

Answer 1

Chopsticks are traditionally held in the right hand only, even by the left-handed. (In East Asia, as in Muslim nations, the left hand is used in the toilet, the right hand used for eating.) In modern times, biases against left-handed eating are becoming less severe, and so chopsticks might be held with either hand.

Answer 2

I see no problem using your left hand for chopsticks. I do it al the time.

Answer 3

it's ok, i used my left hand to hold the chopsticks, 1 disadvantage though, you'll bang the person's right elbow when both tries to eat at the same time, so, whenever we dined in a group, i always seat on my wife's right, if she's not with me i'll be extra careful

Answer 4

The only problem is that Chinese restaurants only put out chopsticks that are made for right-handers, you need to ask the waiter for the ones made for left-handers, which will add a little more to your bill.

Answer 5
