The spork is an ingenious invention, its a spoon and fork essentially replacing two pieces of silveware with one multifunctional tool. There is literally no argument to why you shouldn't be using a spork.

I prefer using Fpoons. They are superior to the Spork In every way.

I generally call a slotted spoon a "foon" since, really, it's just an anti-spork: tines in the middle, spoony on the front. Worst of both worlds for a consumption implement, but just right for fishing bits out of boiling water.

It's a bullshit spoon that you can't eat soup with or stab meat properly.

the spork's fatal flaw i that it is not deep enough to be useful as a spoon, so you are really just getting an awkwardly shaped subpar fork.

what if you made the spork's spoon bit deeper and made the fork tongs on the end of it better?

What about a knife plus a spoon? Like if you put a razor sharp edge on a spoon, it would be perfect!

The fork part seems redundant with the chopstick part. However, if each chopstick had half of a spoon that came together to make one whole spoon? Now we're in business.

Also there isnt a lot of meals you need to have a spoon and a fork. Except Spaghetti which means you still need two fpoons.

 Okay, someone explain this to me, it's a genuine mystery. There are these things called a french sauce spoon. They're flatter and have a thin edge so you can scoop up sauce from your plate. Makes sense, even if it's finicky. But I can't figure out why the gently caress they have a notch. The best guess i can find online is so that you can drain fat off the top of a spoonful of sauce, but that sounds insane.

Because 's not kosher. 's pork.  PS. Crab forks. And why the gently caress is there a salad fork. Did someone really look at a regular fork and think, "I can eat most things with this just fine. But salad? No, salad would be so much easier to eat if this were 10% smaller."

I think I've seen Jacque Pepin use this on one of his shows. it's for tasting soups/sauces in a sanitary fashion without needing a new spoon every time. Scoop normally, and then tilt back so you drink from the handle. Or I totally made this up, but I'm pretty sure it's the truth.

The only sporks I've ever used have been the lovely little folding plastic things you get in pasta salad and fruit bowls. They either break, don't fold properly, or worse don't fork as well as they spoon. If there were full size versions with slightly better forking ability, then that'd be swell. But as of yet I've not had the pleasure of such a culinary experience.

The spork is the perfect tool to make your granita and eat it too. It's also the best way to eat rock-hard Italian ice using the same concept.

Grapefruit spoons and absinthe spoons. Honestly, you could combine the two into one device, save us all a lot of drawer space.

I'm sorry, but good grapefruit spoons are indispensable. The ones that are pointed and toothed, not the pudgy round bastards. Don't eat soup with them though.

I eat grapefruits the same way I eat any other citrus: one painstakingly peeled wedge at a time. I also peel my grapes before eating them. I might have a problem.

There is a good use for a spork. Barbecue. It doesn't have to be a good fork because you just need something to help flake meat off the bone. It doesn't have to be a great spoon because you should be dabbing up runny liquids with bread. If you need a knife, it's not barbecue. Steve Yun posted:
