Routes

Can be tested manually via ThunderClient or any HTTP client:

• GET /food returns a list of Food objects
• GET /food/1 returns the first Food object in the list
• POST /food creates a Food object, saves it to the list of foods
• PUT /food/2 updates the second Food object
• DELETE /food/3 deletes the third Food object

The routes for /tableware follow the same pattern as above.
