THE PITCH

The Pitch

Stimulation the senses through eating.

Exploring the five factors that affects taste;
Temperature
Colour
Texture
Volume/weight
Exploring the synesthesia - the eating experience can be enriched in multi cross wire ways. It should not just be a tool that we eat with but an extension of our body.

Becoming more aware of how we eat may encourage people to adopt healthier eating habits such as consuming less and eating slower.
As children we are taught to use our mouths and tongues to eat, this a process we all go through that many of us would not know. For some kids with Autism and hypersensitivity eating can be a problem and a solution for this is to introduce oral toys that can be put into the mouth. These toys stimulate the senses of the mouth and encourage chewing.

With adults many of us are guilty with gulping down our food, this is certainly not what Heston wants you to experience while eating his food.

So I wonder if it is possible to bring back those senses by designing cutlery that would awaking our mouth senses and also encourage slower eating.
