Consumption of food is a universal necessity. Different cultures
have developed different methods to accomplish the task. It is
interesting to discover these differences and learn new ways to
do things. European cultures developed cutlery (knives, forks,
and spoons) to enable people to efficiently eat their food.
Correct use of this tools changes with the times-what was
polite in 1800 may not be considered proper manners today.
China developed the chopstick as an efficient tool for eating.

not raised in the culture. The attempts of a novice to use
chopsticks can be very amusing to the watcher, but frustrating
for the hungry diner. Space travel has created new challenges
for consuming food. Squeeze bottles and other unique
packaging have enabled space travelers to get their needed
nutrition. Chopsticks and forks do not work well in space. -
