Abstract
A garnish pick for food and/or beverages is disclosed. In at least some embodiments, the garnish pick includes a plurality of appendages that form skewering shafts for skewering garnishes. In at least some embodiments, at least one appendage of the garnish pick forms a hook for securing the garnish pick to a food or beverage container. In at least some embodiments, the garnish pick and its associated appendages may be shaped to simulate the appearance of organisms or portions thereof. As one example, the garnish pick may simulate the appearance of a branch of a tree or an antler of an animal.
Claims20
A garnish pick, comprising:
- a pick body including:
- a first elongate body portion having a first end forming a first tapered skewer and having a second end forming a hook;
- and
- a second elongate body portion branching outward from the first elongate body portion at an intermediate location between the first end and the second end, the second elongate body portion having a distal end forming a second tapered skewer;
- wherein the pick body is asymmetric about all planes passing through the garnish pick.
A garnish pick, comprising:
- a pick body including:
- a stem portion;
- a first elongate body portion branching from the stem portion, the first elongate body portion tapering from a base end toward a distal end of the first elongate body portion to form a first tapered skewer;
- and
- a second elongate body portion branching from the stem portion or the first elongate body portion, the second elongate body portion tapering from a base end toward a distal end of the second elongate body portion to form a second tapered skewer;
- wherein the first elongate body portion and the second elongate body portion are each curved along their respective lengths, the first elongate body portion having a different curvature than the second elongate body portion;
- wherein the first elongate body portion is longer than the second elongate body portion;
- and
- wherein the pick body is asymmetric about every plane passing through the garnish pick.
A garnish pick, comprising:
- a pick body including:
- a first elongate body portion having a first end forming a first tapered skewer;
- a second elongate body portion branching outward from the first elongate body portion at an intermediate location between the first end and a second end of the first elongate body portion, the second elongate body portion having a distal end forming a second tapered skewer;
- and
- a third elongate body portion branching outward from the first elongate body portion at another intermediate location between the first end of the first elongate body portion and the intermediate location where the second elongate body branches outward from the first elongate body, the third elongate body portion having a distal end forming a third tapered skewer;
- wherein the first elongate body portion tapers from the second end toward the first end, wherein the second and third elongate body portions each taper toward their respective distal ends;
- wherein the first, second, and third elongate body portions are each curved along their respective lengths, each of the first, second, and third elongate body portions have different curvatures.
