How did the chopsticks became the most popular eating utensil for over 1.5 billion people? What are the taboos when it comes to using chopsticks? Why do they make great wedding gifts? How did chopsticks influence the invention of the Lazy Susan? Edward gives you all the answers in the episode. Show recap in bio☝️
Over one and a half billion people use 🥢 as their primary eating utensil! In his book “Chopsticks: A Cultural and Culinary History”, Professor.
