Cutlery-less meal

Exploring the factors that come into play further, I staged a meal with a friend, one in which cutlery would usually prove to be paramount. We ate pasta and soup which proved to be quite interesting. This experiment illuminated the importance of turn taking, very similar to that employed within conversation, as a social process it was curious to observe the additional interactions that are necessary within the structure of the meal. Livia, my eating partner also noted an unexpected questioning of what was on her plate alongside an increased level of sensory intensity.
