Toothpicks

[TimberWolf]

I seem to get meat stuck between my teeth quite a lot these days, so I have wooden tooth picks on standby, which are rubbish. Obviously I wouldn't want to use something harder than teeth for picking, but the wood ones are carp. The ends are overly sharp and go blunt quickly and the pick snaps easily. They are also a bit too wide. Better would be a blunter thinner and softer plastic pick that last for a entire picking session surely?

Swiss army knives have a good toothpick.

Metal?

No, plastic; it slots into the side of the handle.

Didn't restaurants use to have toothpicks? I can't remember last time I saw this, and it's annoying. Is it a health and safety thing to stop us stabbing when we get atrocious service?

I use folded paper in emergencies too, and this work well, but the paper goes soggy quickly. I think it's small gaps that are the trouble spots though rather than the large gaps.

Floss might be better.

I've entered an alternative reality of absolute dullness...

Bodean's BBQ in London's fashionable Soho district has toothpicks.
