Table 2 Categorization of questions asked by tourists by question topic

Category	Associated tourists’ questions

Usage	How is it used? How do we eat it?
General questions	What is this? What is the difference between X and Y?

The second category includes the questions about the usage. The last category includes general questions about the composition and the usage of the food
