Pic Woody's Wooden Cutlery

Perfect cutlery for the outdoor diner. Pic Woody's wooden cutlery is, as they say, the disposable cutlery of the future. We spotted it at Fairway last weekend for $2.50 for a bag of something like 12 forks and 12 knives.

Pic Woody's cutlery is made in France of sustainable European beech and poplar, which is compostable and reduces the use of disposable plastics.

The utensils are smoothed and waxed - no splinters here! And we found their shape to be very pleasing, too.

Even better- just bring your own cutlery, take it home and wash when finished! Saves 2.50, energy used to produce them, transport them, and want end up in a sealed landfill where even degradable stuff doesn't degrade.

I'm with ringo on this one.

At w.o.k. they give out either chopsticks or wooden cutlery with their take-away meals, too: they're cute but not very comfortable to eat with (especially the knife - completely useless).

Here's a pic I just shot of a wooden fork of theirs I've kept - and no, I didn't use it, just prefer normal, washable, reusable cutlery.

How can you post throw-away cutlery on a green site! Shame!

I agree with the nay-sayers. And I hope this site will not simply be promoting new trendy things to buy in the flimsy name of green. Gimme information, not product pushing.

I with the other commenters - whatever happened to reusing as one of the main components of green living?
