In some cultures, such as Ethiopian cuisine and Indian dining, breads or hands are used in place of utensils.

"Fun Dip" is a type of candy in the United States, where a solid candy "dipping stick" is used to convey flavored sugar to the eater's mouth. The dipper is first licked to provide moisture, and then dredged through a small pouch with the flavored sugar, so that the sugar sticks to the dipping stick.

Some ice cream novelties use a flat wooden spade, often erroneously called a "spoon", to lift the product to one's mouth. Prepackaged tuna salad and cracker snacks often contain a flat plastic spade for similar purposes, also erroneously referred to as a "spoon".
