A sipping chopstick (20) in the form of a chopstick and straw combination comprising an elongated stick having an open internal duct (41) from the food handling end (14) to the other food consumption end (15) to form a sipping straw. The instant chopstick and straw combination can additionally comprise a widened lip at point of consumption. The sipping chopstick permits solid food in the form of soup or pure fluid to be carried in the entry end of the stick and transported to the sipping point of consumption. The internal duct begins at the food handling base of the stick, extends up through the annular bored shaft, and ends at the lip of the chopstick. The chopstick can additionally comprise an internal baffle (53) which enables continued draft by suction and prevents fluid flow when the baffle is in the quiescent state.
