Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Asian cuisine has been pretty popular here in the U.S. for sometime. It seems to me that many Americans have become fairly agile with a pair of chopsticks. However, I know that not everyone is comfortable using two sticks to transport food from plate to mouth. If you're one of the number who still struggle with the sticks, there's a new tool that can help you eat your Asian food without all the fuss. The Tukaani chopsticks were created by Finnish designer, Lincoln Kayiwa, and were modeled after the beak of a Toucan. The stainless steel utensil has the two 'sticks' connected by a ring twisted at one end.
The Tukaani chopsticks may be great for beginners, but I still think they're no substitute for learning how to use chopsticks properly. It may take some practice, but using chopsticks isn't so difficult to master that you'd need to use the Tukaani forever. What's your take on the Tukaani chopsticks?

I mean, for those of use in the habit of feeding ourselves?

My husband didn't start using chopsticks until he was in his 40s. He's still awkward with them, and I thought perhaps a set of these might make a nice gift. However, when I clicked to follow up on Tukaani chopsticks, what did I find? They're made of sterling silver, and each set must be ordered individually from the artist, who lives in Finland.
Slashfood readers don't need table art, we need cutlery. No thanks.
