As many a camper and picnicker can attest, if you want to dine on your own food while out, you've also got to have a decent set of utensils. This rule also applies to the thrifty traveler, as picking up meals at a market is often one of the best ways to stretch your budget, while also sampling the local fare. However, a clunky set of utensils can take up a decent amount of space, especially if you are trying to pack light.
A good solution for this conundrum is the Light My Fire Spork. It's 3 tools in 1: a sturdy plastic spoon, fork, and psuedo-knife(likely useful only for cutting soft things.) Unless you are grilling or hunting your own meals, this simple tool will likely serve you well while on the road. As an added bonus, it's not made of metal, so you can pack it in your carry-on without having to worry that it will be confiscated at a security checkpoint.
Available in many fashionable colors, for a mere $3 at Amazon.
