chopsticked

Picked up precisely

Chopsticked means picked up or eaten with chopsticks: She chopsticked a piece of sushi into her mouth.

The word can also describe the physical position of chopsticks—stuck upright in food, for instance, which carries taboo associations in some East Asian cultures: rice with chopsticked incense sticks.
