Meaning
A pair of chopsticks. They represent East and Southeast Asian dining, and by extension the food eaten with them. They appear in restaurant posts, food photography and anything to do with Chinese, Japanese, Korean or Vietnamese cuisine. There is real etiquette attached to them — never stand them upright in rice, which resembles a funeral offering — and that etiquette is widely discussed online.
