The chopstick thread reminded me of an article I read that discussed how different materials and textures of the utensils we use to eat can affect the flavours of the food. They mostly discussed various metals, wood, and plastic. They made the great point that you are 'eating' some of the utensil as well, minute amounts, but enough to chemically affect the food and therefore it's flavor.
I couldn't find the original article, but I found one that is just as interesting; the color and weight of the utensils affect our perceptions as well;
