#998: ChewChube

For those people with difficulty manipulating cutlery and chewing, today’s invention is intended to help out.

It consists of a fork-like tube with a grid over an aperture at one end. The tube is placed in contact with food on a plate which is then minced to a user-selectable level and sucked into a chamber. This process can be repeated with different foods so that a mixed ‘forkful’ is created.

This is then placed in the mouth of the user and gently blown into their mouth so that it can be swallowed with a minimum of chewing.
