While we might be employing a little tongue-in-cheek humor here, some objects really do slow us down from devouring our favorite foods, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Whether it’s a finger bowl (that blast from the past), inviting a diner to pause between courses to reset the senses, or a complicated contraption used to poke, stab, or lift, we’ve gathered twenty convenient (or not-so-convenient) objects that will almost always prevent you from wolfing down the food on your plate.
