Vegetable carving is not originally American; it has roots in Asian cultures, particularly in Thailand, where it is known as "fruit and vegetable carving" and has been practiced for centuries. The art form has gained popularity in the United States through culinary trends and cultural exchanges. While American chefs and artists have embraced and adapted the technique, the tradition itself is not indigenous to the U.S.
Vegetable Carving is the art of carving vegetables in a way that is pleasing to the viewer. Fruit carving is basically the same thing with fruits. Carving refered to as a garnish and is used as a decoration on many different food entrees. It is now used in many different locations such as cruises, hotels, restaurants, and other elite dining places. Vegetable carving originated in Asia, but it is unknown in exactly which country.
It is sculpture using a piece of fruit or a vegetable (or a combination of them) as the medium. Pumpkins and watermelons are particularly suitable.

Culinary art includes all forms of food preparation. It doesn't necessarily involve decorative work or the display of the food, but carving fruits and vegetables is a small part of it.
