If you can't drink it or shovel it into your mouth with chopsticks it isn't worth eating anyhow.
The only way I would pay more than 50 cents for an eating utensil is if I needed the wrench holes in the handle to fix my stove.

Say, is that a fresh can of worms?


Edit.
Actually I have a fairly heavy but solid table spoon that goes camping and hiking. I am not enough of a gearhead to spend the money they want for titanium.
Chopsticks are great for poking and stirring.

ps
If you ever get chopsticks, get the pointy Japanese or Korean style instead of the blunt Chinese style ones, or cut your own from a convenient twig.
The pointy ones are a little more awkward at first but they are more versatile
