We usually look forward to flying in an airplane, if for no other reason than because it takes us to faraway places, on vacation, or because we simply enjoy 10,000 km in the air. Unless you don't. But there are not a few stories describing bad experiences on the plane; not enough space, bad food, annoying neighbor, unfriendly staff and more could be found. But you can take care of some (dis)likes yourself. A small pillow under the head, a pair of headphones or an interesting book can contribute to comfort on the plane. It is also wise to take care of your stomach or digestion before boarding. What foods should you avoid before getting on a plane?

Are you sure you know how coffee, pineapple or peanuts grow? Photos of food while growing can honestly surprise you and you will definitely not look at this food the same way again.
The Goûte spoon offers a new and refined way of enjoying food. It feels like licking your fingers. We are celebrating the times when spoons, knives and forks were just a means to get food from the plate to our mouths. Thanks to technology, we can use utensils to make food tastier and trick the taste buds to such an extent that they mistake vegetables for chocolate. The Goûte spoon brings the authenticity of eating food with your finger without acting as if we are strangers to etiquette.
