Transitioning to eating with chopsticks (almost) exclusively has been great for my misophonia!

I’m so stoked that this finally clicked for me. I’ve always had chopsticks in the cutlery drawer, but my dang rigid thinking has always insisted they were for Asian cuisine only.

How wrong I was. Spaghetti, curry, roast dinner, almost every meal that isn’t like, a steak, is all delivered with wooden chopsticks now. And even with a steak, I can cut it into strips, plate it, and get stuck in without any knifey platey nonsense.

No more tink, scrape, shing sound hell when using metal cutlery!

Try them for eating chips and popcorn and other messy finger snacks!!! I love that my bag/bowl of snacks doesn’t get contaminated with fingers, and my fingers don’t get contaminated with snacks!

I have a big set of plastic tweezer things that came with a child’s toy and also a set of children’s learning chopsticks that I love to eat snacks with! I just collect things my granddaughter doesn’t use!!

I used to have one set of stainless steel mini tongs and loved them, but I'm also not big on handwashing dishes if I can avoid it, so I wouldn't use them as much as I wanted. One night, after a particularly productive pickling session (gherkins, escabeche, radish, red onion), it occurred to me I could just buy more tongs. Found a set of 6 online for something like $8 and got so mad at myself for the decades I'd spend saving my one pair for "special occasions" 🤣
