Fork and spoon are useful for many foods, but chopsticks can gracefully handle things that would shatter or flake apart if stabbed by a fork. Example: the meme about eating Cheetos with chopsticks so you don’t get powder all over your keyboard.

And anything that you’d use a fork and spoon for could be handled by chopsticks and spoon because—surprise!—Asian countries also have spoons.

If you think about it, though, hacking at your food at the table is not nearly as elegant as having had it all prepared for you in bite-sized pieces, to daintily pick up with one hand and a pair of chopsticks.

I always envision this as the great "Rice capable form" of chop sticking. Basically you maximize the surface area to the piece you are picking up. I can grab a lot of rice this way...
