Could be great for somethings but not higher-end events

The caterer for our wedding recommended we order these forks to go with the balsa wood plate's we're using. I decided to try them out myself before placing the larger order, and I'm glad I did. While I wouldn't mind these as something I would use in the office, say (instead of plastic cutlery), or at a backyard BBQ, they aren't fit for a high-end wedding or event. Like some other reviewers said, the mouthfeel is off - that first bite especially is DRY on the tongue. And, there is a definite woody taste. It's not overpowering or necessarily unpleasant, but if you're paying $$$ for catering/food, these would certainly take away from that experience. Net-net: a good alternative to plastic forks for everyday use, but not for more formal functions!
