Microbites

I thought the chopsticks would work for that, but they don't really. Fine for picking things out of boiling water, turning sausages, fine for eating 'some' things, but on the whole I'd rather have a spoon.
I still have my own silver baby spoon, fork and pusher setYou don't see pushers now; they were a good way of teaching a child to become familiar with using two pieces of cutlery at once. Those modern ones are appealing though; I can see why you bought a set for your granddaughter.
You could acquire a set of the microbites for your grandson for his camping jaunts with Grandpa

Thankfully he's mastered using grown up utensils, knife, fork and spoon
This is my favourite set for camping, brit army dated 1944 (not my photo)
Clips together.
they look the business rik.
Have seen them before, I think they gave them away with national service, is that where you got them. A bit metallically tasting aluminium ??? Superb spoon though, but superbly thin knife, almost like a razor, and a real pointy fork. If they could just makem outa titanium. Infact I think I'll email unky bob.
Edit: N.B. I believe it to be the best "racing spoon" in existance

It's been a day now, still no reply from rik_uk3 . I wonder whether reply will ever come. The days pass slowly, and I find myself loosing motivation. I have enough food to last but it's not unlimited, providing rik_uk3 returns soon. My equipment is showing signs of ware, my pink plastic Spork broke in half when I lay on it, I should have bought Microbites. Will give it a few more days, but I think we have to assume that rik_uk3 got his WW2 British army cutlery whilst training young recruits, for the North Africa Campaign.

this man talks alot of sense and i agree a metal set knife, fork, and spoon just cant be beatan
Yep, they called me up when I was six years old
These are good but I only have the spoon and fork
I just don't get the whole idea of Man V Food.
I mean, its basically just watching a fat bloke, eat.
Big deal, hardly surprising to see a fat bloke eat is it? How else do they get chubby?
How the hell do they manage to convince someone to fund that as a programme? Think I watched it for about a minute before I couldn't handle any more.
The man versus food fella has got fatter, slower, and he can't eat as much as the series have progressed. Now it should be called well fed man fancies a nibble .
Food 1 - 0 Man.
Next series: man versus his skinny replacement

He's now retired, perhaps a good thing. I watch the show from time to time, I like to see what they cook but can't watch him eat the 'challenge'. I'd guess the first few bites of a 6lb Burrito would taste so good in a bad way lol
Not to be outdone by the Americans, the UK has its own version

It would be good if the Microbites stayed in the topic, lets start other threads not related to Microbites elsewhere.

I am sorry for the hijack ... just my personal bias on gear getting the better of me
Now Mr. Fenna,
Have you found a portal to the disk worls where you find this self carving wood? Link Must be good though not having to carry those peske crook knives.

the microbite spatula knife, if its as strong a stated look quite useful, not sure about the foon thing. Good that they do them in large too !
Although the large foon might be good.
I do have the sea to summit foon from cotswold, which once again is munchkin size and the holes for the prongs make it even worse

Spatula Knife
Used to get the flour mix out of the corners and cut cheese when I was camping last week. Also cut sausages and rolls.

there you go rick, why not use a knife and fork and spoon ?!?!
Because a long sharp spatula that you can use on non stick is far superior for food preparation and does not damage the pan.
As for the man versus food fella, maybe they should bring it back with someone who's seriously malnourished, a bit like Channel 4s super size versus super skinny, if they finish they get to come back tomorrow. Continue it for a few months until they are sufficiently well fed that they fail the challenge(like the big man himself), and then get another competitor. Feeding the poor with entertainment value. Channel 4 "gorp at a freak, but don't feel bad" territory. And to whomever said earlier its like someone showing you how they got tubby, it is. A timeline documentary waching a thin Italian type slowly eating himself tubby. Heres a before and after photo.
