커트러리의 국내 현황

Domestic Status of Cutlery

Cutlery was introduced by western food culture and has extended its usage and application to the many aspects of our food culture. But, the general application of cutlery to our food culture has not been in common due to the inherent difference of cutlery tool and its usage between western and oriental food culture. In order to have further study of the usage and application of cutlery, the trend of cutlery application at Italian and French restaurant, where cutlery has been generally adopted, was investigated. Also, the criterion and design concept of cutlery purchasing at Hotel and Restaurant was investigated, respectively. Our study shows that Hotel prefers to the aesthetic usage of cutlery for its elegance, whereas Restaurant prefers to the practical usage. The comparison of western and oriental usage of cutlery also reflects current Korean food culture.
