"One potato, Two potato"

You see a lot of odd things when traveling. Not necessarily odd as in weird, though that is certainly true. More odd as in strange to you. For instance, at the hotel buffet this morning, all the utensils were biodegradeable. The plates, bowls and cups were made of paper instead of Styrofoam. The hotel owner is definitely taking the eco-friendly message to heart.

That's not what was surprising. No. The surprising thing was the silverware. Or rather Tater Ware. Instead of plastic, the forks, knives and spoons were made of potatoes. Yep, the good old Idaho spud.

The cutlery had an unusual texture, rougher than plastic, but it performed all the usual functions. The only disappointment was that it didn't taste at all like a french fry. Now that would really be something. Eat your meal, then finish it off by eating your utensils. Definitely eco-friendly.

Think about it. Cutlery as dessert. Flan flavored forks, strawberry flavored spoons, livorice flavored knives. Yum. Where's the suggestion box?
