[edit] Cleanup

The word "utensil" is a synonym for "tool". It is a man-made device. Hands and fingers are not utensils. Tortillas are not utensils. A balti is a pot, not a utensil. A runcible spoon is fictional, and a nonsense word. Finally, I've removed the dictionary definitons because lists do not need them. That's why the links are there.

[edit] Pushers?

I wonder if there is a name or article for an eating utensil used for pushing food onto a fork? While one may ordinarily use a knife for this purpose, my grandmother had a hoe-shaped device that was part of a place setting for children in Holland. I don't know what the Dutch name for it was, or whether it may have been used only there or in broader use. Шизомби (talk) 16:26, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
