I can fathom having a portable case for a set of silverware, that you clean when you get home.

They exist.

I've heard it's not unusual in some places for people to do this with chopsticks.

In the future we'll just walk around with silverware and a cup at all times.
I mean, as long as so many of us are driving our own cars everywhere anyways, it's not like we don't have a place to put it...
Actually you might be onto a new market, creating forks that you bring with you everywhere like a pocket knife.
I wouldn't call camping supplies a new market so much as repurposed.
Medieval Europeans would dine with knives alone, and were expected to bring their own to the table.

They exist, and some of them don't look at all like camping equipment.

A pocketknife already doubles as a fork.
