Bamboo disposable utensils are used by our local ‘green’ restaurant.
Without even trying one first? Ok.
They have spudware at my work cafeteria. They aren’t as easy to use as plastic utensils if that makes sense but they work well enough.
As I talked about in my post about different chopstick types, for me there’s an unexplainable different mouth feel with different types of chopsticks. Also, round bamboo chopsticks (because they’re smoother) sometimes makes it’s difficult to pick up some slippery food. And you can suck on the ends of wooden chopsticks, giving you that last oddly satisfying flavor of the last thing you ate mixed with that pulpy taste of the wood, like sucking on a popsicle stick after the popsicle’s gone! 
I don’t need to eat with a bent piece of cardboard to know that the idea doesn’t appeal to me–just like I know that I don’t want to boil soup in an old tin can over a garbage fire. Because I’m not a hobo from the 1930s.
Do you have the same opinion about drinking from a [del]carboard[/del] wax coated paper cup?
To me, it depends on how effective it is as a spoon and what alternatives are available. If it doesn’t get limp and soggy during use and is able to spoon liquids, then I’m willing to give it a shot.
Waldo Pizza in Kansas City has been experimenting with straw alternatives. The uncoated paper ones became soggy halfway through a meal, but the one labeled as being “made from plants” was perfectly fine.
I don’t know if they still package them this way, but the taste of individual ice cream cups or frozen malts never taste the with a plastic or metal spoon. Gotta be that little wooden spoon!
