Flavorful Edible Utensils

Poilane Creates Deliciously Edible Forks and Spoons

— April 19, 2011 — Lifestyle
Poilane, a French bakery located in Paris, has created edible forks and spoons which make a perfect addition to any dessert or snack. Not only are the edible forks and spoons tasty, but they add a touch of cuteness to plates of food as well. Now you can literally finish your whole meal. Don’t just stop at eating your food, eat your utensils too!

There is a curry-flavoured fork “made from rye, flour, and parmesan” which goes “well with hummus or Indian appetizers.” There are also cookie spoons which can be used to stir your espresso or as a creative garnish for ice cream. 

These edible forks and spoons offer a whimsical way to enhance the flavours of your favourite dish. Bon appetit!
