Abstract
A food skewer that provides a user with the experience of eating meat/food stuff off a bone that is not normally eaten off of a bone, includes a skewing piece and an end cap. The skewing piece is used to pierce and support the desired meat/food stuff, and also provides a portion for the user to grasp in order to maneuver the meat/food stuff. Meanwhile, the end cap secures the meat/food stuff to the skewing piece, protects the user from incurring injury from the skewing piece, and provides an additional portion for the user to grasp in order to maneuver the meat/food stuff. The skewing piece and the end cap may resemble one or more animal bones, such as a humerus bone, a rib bone, or a radius and ulna bone.
