wherever i was, i've always accumulated sushi/chinese takeout chopsticks.
you know what i mean... the ones we get with chow mein hofurn and "california" rolls.
recently my wife wasn't around so i had to cook, afterwhich i couldn't find a clean fork to eat my delicious meal of 2-minute noodles.
so i pulled out my invincible collection of disposable singapore chopsticks...
the round skinny ones, wrapped in a translucent package with alternating red print. gotta jab 'em outta the pack from the ends.
HOLY SMOKES... one pair after another... they've all got mold on it.
i must have gone through at least 20 or 25 pairs, and i whittled them down to possibly 10 or so.
while i'm not sure what my point of this post is, i'm sure somewhere deep down, there has been a void created by my blatant act of discarding these chopsticks - albeit of poor quality and lousy origins.
i guess i'd like to know whatever happened to unwrapped disposable chopsticks (possibly preserved with arsenic) that lasts forever? the squarish type that you snap apart from the thicker ends.
it seems like they only appear when i step into certain sushi bars.
you can bet from now on, i ma swipe a few whenever i feel for sake.
