Teaching Proper Eating Etiquette
Growing up in a traditional Vietnamese household, and then thrown into western society with different cultural eating habits was a difficult transition. For the most part I grew up using nothing but chopsticks and the occasional soup spoon. I vividly remember the first time I attended a black-tie event in high school and was overwhelmed with the myriad of plates and flatware.
Proper eating etiquette may be dying in the face of an ever-changing world where speed is becoming the norm. But the FunFam training kit attempts to teach proper eating etiquette with a set of plates, trays, forks, knives, and spoons all properly labeled for what kinds of foods to use it with and when. Ironically, it's a Japanese product.

I've been eating with chopsticks (and a spoon for breakfast) for over 20 years. If i have dinner out with a knife and fork, the metal taste grosses me out.
