Yeah, but eating rice with chopsticks is only slightly more dignified than scooping it with your hand. You need to bring the bowl up to your face and shovel the rice in your mouth with the sticks. Use a fork, like God intended.
East Asian short grain rice are stickier and can be picked up as a clump, pajeet long grains are loose have to be scooped up with spoon or fork
Prior to forks Europeans ate with a knife primarily, not with their hands.
That means the wrong type of rice is being used. I'm not a rice expert, I just remember what I was taught as a child. I remember enough that I'm very picky which rice I like, and not much more.
A spoon is fine too.
