    I know this isn’t the point, but I do like to carry a set of portable cutlery around and often use it eating out. It’s usually a smallish case with metal straw(s), chopsticks, a knife, spoon, fork. Which one time lead to me forgetting my metal straw at the restaurant of course…

      I’ve got a similar set.

      Fun fact; you can get a set of like 12 metal straws pretty cheap, and at least the set I got came with silicone mouthpieces, so if you forget one somewhere you can just throw a new one in!

      Do you just carry the dirty utensils with you after eating, aren’t there biodegradable single use utensils out there, why not use that instead

        You wipe em, and make sure to wash em later. Biodegradable single use will still be more wasteful and probably cost more.

        I have a fork that has lived in my work van for over 3 years. A little bit of spit and napkin and its ready to go, maybe some hand sanitizer if I’m feeling fancy.
