So I wanted to try out metal chopsticks. Looked on ebay and found

>how do you even save money by adding lead to babyfood

It wasn't that they added lead into babyfood to save money, it was that they cut corners and added a filler into the milk powder and it was the filler that happened to contain lead.

>>8325904
Koreans are almost as shitty when it comes to food safety as the chinese. You're probably ok, but consider it a lesson well learned. They'll fuck you over if they can. If you want to be confident, buy Japanese.

>>8325915
Well, anyhow, China and their products scare me. Especially when it comes to anything going into my mouth.

>>8325919
Good point. But the Koreans are the ones with the metal ones, the japs swear by wood or bamboo, hence they don't really manufacture much metal chopsticks.

>>8325926
Hmm, I didn't know that. I have a set of sterling silver I bought when I was in korea that is the real thing. True, when I was in japan, I only remember bamboo as the chopstick, but I was never in a particularly formal environment in japan. Is it really true they don't use metal utensils in formal settings? I find that hard to believe.

>>8325947
In formal settings I would think they stick to traditional wooden utensils but modern homes or casual settings I'm sure they've upgraded.

Not shelling out for titanium.

>>8325981
I was considering titanium ones, but since I am in Europe it is a bit roundabout to get them. And on ebay the only sellers with titanium ones were again Chinese sellers. Which makes me weary of what I will receive.

>>8326003
You don't have to worry about the quality of titanium when the Chinese sell them.

>>8325904
Just buy stainless steel rod, cut it, install in drill and sand it (if you don't have a lathe).

>>8326015
How so?

>>8325947
Japan had shit metal, so they didn't rely on it outside of weapons.

It's like how asians have cows but still have lactose intolerance because milk products were reserved for royalty.

[spoiler]You don't have to worry about Chinesium because it's always bad.[/spoiler]

>>8326031
haha, yeah, pretty much my thought as well. Probably cheaper and healthier to just go with the stainless steel one if confronted by that choice.

It's been many years. It only exists on boards like /v/, /tv/, and /b/

>>8326050
Titanium has no rusting issues, and no poision to body, think of titanium hips.

>>8326072
We're talking Chinesium, not titanium.

>>8326072
Yeah, but if I get it from china it might be aliminium where they added some quicksilver to keep it shiny or what the fuck. Idk what goes through their heads.

>>8325904
Wooden once use > wooden washable > plastic textured > plastic > metal

Metal chopsticks sucks and theres a reason nobody outside of Korea uses them

>>8326071
What? When the fuck did /b/ get spoilers? Don't give them anything, they don't deserve it.

>>8325926
Japanese have some metal chopsticks but they're not very popular because they're slippery, heavy and a pain in the ass to use. I've only seen them in fancy restaurants.

>>8326090
Idk, I have some wooden ones I bought way back in the day that are great. However, I thought metal was kind of a good idea. Especially for keeping them clean. I'd love to just toss them in the washer after I'm done eating.

>>8326137
Gotta agree with >>8326108 in some ways. I thought metal ones would be great too, but I found them rather slippery and surprisingly heavy. They still work just fine, but I went back to wood or coated ones.

I buy mine from a local Japanese shop, no idea if they're made in China or Japan or whatever.

>>8326155
Personally I like the metal ones. Gives me better grip and doesn't feel like I'm holding nothing every once in a while.

In Korea, there has been a large increase in restaurants using vacuum formed chopsticks where they're thick but hollow so it makes them super light and it frustrates me because I want some heft on my utensils and I can't get any when I'm eating out.

>>8326155
I can't stand the coating though. I really only liked uncoated wood. But again, metal seems like a good idea in theory.

>>8325904
Listen OP, if you're dumb enough to make this post, a little lead won't do u any harm.

>>8326292
>if you're dumb enough to make this post
what post? Your post? I didn't make your post!

>>8326305
kek

>>8326256
I agree with >>8326155
Ordered some stainless steel ones a while ago thinking I'd use them all the time, but I honestly like them less than the crappy disposable bamboo ones you get at fast-Asian restaurants here in the US and have only used them a handful of times. It makes no difference that I CAN just throw them in the dishwasher, because I never use/dirty them anyways.
