four candles folding

The buffet cars on Polish trains are so cute. They are relatively modern but have an old-fashioned feel. Perhaps it’s that they have tables, serve proper meals and there is a menu on the table and the order is taken by uniformed staff. Even the food, while not being actually good, is acceptable. Proper cooked dinners meat and two veg. Fair enough more can teen food than fine dining but as most fast food n Britain doesn’t even meet that low standard we were satisfied.

We were not so pleased with the table ware -. Plastic cutlery arghh. Luckily we had planned for just such a contingency and brought our own folding set of knife fork and spoon.

If you want to travel plastic free through Europe these are essential. One of the joys of Europe is the street fairs selling yummy food but you do need to bring your own utensils. These folding forks have enabled us to enjoy shovel up fried potatoes and spear a sausages guilt free..

They hae bottle opener and can opener attachments. We got given ours but these  from ebay look similar. NB ours came in very plasticky packaging … I don’t know about those on Ebay.

Since then I have seen them for sale at camping shops.

If you do have to use disposable cutlery you might consider this compostable cutlery.
