Chopsticks; a pair of sticks used as eating utensils in Vietnamese and other East Asian cultures

In Vietnamese culture, chopsticks are typically made of wood, bamboo, or metal and are used for eating rice, noodles, and other dishes.
When using chopsticks, avoid pointing them at people or food, and never pass food directly from one pair of chopsticks to another.
In Vietnamese culture, it is polite to tap your chopsticks lightly on the edge of your bowl before eating to show appreciation for the meal.
The word 'đũa' comes from the Sino-Vietnamese term 'đũa' (筷), which refers to the traditional eating utensil used in East Asia.
Chopsticks are an essential part of Vietnamese dining etiquette. It is considered impolite to stick chopsticks upright in a bowl of rice, as this resembles funeral rites.
