>Forks allow scooping!

Forks are awful at scooping! They're about as effective at scooping as a butter knife. Everything just falls off the sides. I admit the pincers also stink at scooping, but I just hate forks.

well, you can scoop green peas with fork with no trouble, for example. I'm sure there're asian people who can do it efficiently with chopsticks, of course, but I just can't imagine, how.

"I eat my peas with honey. I've done it all my life. It makes them taste quite funny, but it keeps them on my knife."

Peas are easy to eat with chopsticks. They are large and squishy. You can pick them a couple at a time. It actually goes quite fast if you are used to it. It’s easier than picking up the last few grains of rice from a bowl something people do all the time.
