The invention relates to a small stick of the type that is used in the food service industry, but which, instead of being made from wood, plastic or metal, is made from edible materials suited to the use thereof, both in terms of hardness and shape as wellas in terms of flavour such as to be compatible with the food being served. The basic form of the stick comprises a body (1), a pointed end (2) for piercing the food and an opposing flat end (3) that enables the stick to be gripped comfortably.
