You'd need a family of four going 3 nights a week for a year to get a bag full. By that time it would have cost you such an amount you wish you'd have paid £2 for the bag of kindling up the local shop!
The few times the wife and I have had Chinese food out its always been plastic chopsticks, I do prefer the wooden ones as I find until they go soggy the friction on the wood helps to pick up the food easier.

It takes so little to light a dry pine cone, I'm sticking with my bag of very dry ones.

It's worth noting that Monosodium glutamate, abundantly used in the preparation of Chinese dishes in both the restaurants & take-aways in the UK, does have some serious effects on brain tissue including the destruction of the "little grey cells"...........................................

Bon appétit.

I used to rent a room to a girl who nearly set fire to my house making prawn crackers. Luckily the only harm done was that she didn't need to pluck her eyebrows for a few weeks...

Why would you burn perfectly good lightweight tent stakes?

It's far better for Chinese restaurants to switch to titanium sporks........

"In China, an estimated 45 billion pairs of disposable chopsticks are produced annually.[SUP][26][/SUP] This adds up to 1.66 million cubic metres of timber[SUP][27][/SUP] or 25 million fully grown trees every year.[SUP][26][/SUP] In April 2006, the People's Republic of China imposed a five percent tax on disposable chopsticks to reduce waste of natural resources by over-consumption.[SUP][28][/SUP][SUP][29][/SUP] This measure had the most effect in Japan as many of its disposable chopsticks are imported from China,[SUP][26][/SUP] which account for over 90% of the Japanese market"

It might be possible to make some sort of fire starter by allowing the meal to congeal overnight into a big solid mono sodium glutamate lump, then adding petrol or meths to it.

If chopsticks are so bloody good, why don't they use snooker cues to dig the garden?

 

[Tengu]

Have you ever tried eating sushi with snooker cues?

 

[Robbi]

Oh yes!

If you entered my fire kit competition you might have noticed the number of those I listed; a good party trick.

We do collect the plastic takeway containers, very useful...

 

[Tengu]

Me too, I have many uses for them. Great freezer to microwave pans

Maybe. maybe not. Anyway it certainly does taste great.

MSG is also a blood clotting chemical, during the Lao war my Thai wife used to smuggle it across the Mekong and sell to Lao soldiers. Used the same as Quickclot, just sprinkle on wound. Wouldn't do it myself mind you
