are chopsticks used in vietnam
Because the pieces were so small, there was no need for a knife at the table so the bite-sized pieces could be picked up with chopsticks. Around 500 A.D. the use of chopsticks spread from China to the areas now known as Japan, Vietnam and Korea. Interestingly enough, at first in Japan, chopsticks were only used during religious ceremonies. They were connected to each other, and the implement resembled tongs.
