An articulating eating utensil consists of a utensil head, a shaft, and a handle. The utensil head and the handle are formed of a first material, and the shaft is formed of a second material. The utensil head is provided as the bowl of a spoon, the tines of a fork, a spatula, or any other utensil head useful in handling food for consumption. In a first configuration, the shaft is retracted within an interior cavity of the handle and the utensil head is pivoted toward the handle, such that the eating utensil is a small and lightweight instrument. In a second configuration, the utensil head is pivoted away from the handle and the shaft is extended from the interior cavity of the handle, such that the eating utensil functions like a traditional non-articulating eating utensil.
