Yep, he gave him his own spoon. Sorry, I should have been a little bit more specific, my bad guys.

Zageroth, he gave him a badge made of soap iirc

I think Red XIV is up next for getting the spoon one right

Sorry guys but I thought Keel/Vimes gave Nobby a bowl of porridge but it was snouty who handed it to him and Nobby made his own badge out of soap.

From the same book

Do you really want me to tell you or would you like a hint?

If its a hint you want then the horses name is mentioned,

"And who knows there might even be a few greasy spoons in this town so happy to see a copper that they will spontaneously offer him a free nosh. Stranger things have happened. but nicking oats from {horses name} that stops now". Quote Vimes/Keel

Hope this helps
