A chinese s****t, or possibly a hard up restaurant owner wanting to get away with serving smaller portions

Chopsticks, or kuaizi in Chinese, are a pair of slender sticks usually made of wood or bamboo. For more than 3,000 years, Chinese have been using this utensil for their everyday meal. Holding the pair between the thumb and fingers of one hand, they can pick up any bit of food with this tool. The food item can be big. Or it can be small. It can be square-shaped. Or it can be round

Answer 4

Chopsticks are a pair of small even-length tapered sticks, which are generally believed to have originated in ancient China, and are the traditional eating utensils of China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam and Thailand.

Chopsticks are commonly used with their associated cuisine. Chopsticks can also now be found in some areas of Tibet and Nepal that are close to Han Chinese populations, due to cross-cultural influences. Chopsticks are commonly used in Xinjiang by Uyghurs and other nationalities to eat laghman. In South East Asia chopsticks are usually used when eating noodles or white rice. Chopsticks are commonly made of wood, bamboo, metal, bone, ivory, and in modern times, plastic as well. The pair of sticks is manoeuvered in one hand – between the thumb and fingers – and used to pick up pieces of food.

Chopsticks originated in ancient China as early as the Shang dynasty (1600-1100 BC) [1] and were widely used throughout East Asia. Tools resembling chopsticks were also unearthed in the archaeological site Megiddo in Israel. This discovery may reveal the existence of a trade relationship between the Middle East and Asia in early antiquity or may be an independent parallel development. Chopsticks were also common household items of civilized Uyghurs on the Mongolian steppes during the 6th–8th centuries
