Okay, I know, it's totally overdone as the spotlight of utensil quirkfests, but lately I've been asking myself, what are the benefits of including sporks in your cutlery cabinet? Forkspoons, to use the non-trademarked term, are totally hip and a symbol of both backpacker and military culture owing to its utilitarian design. Let's face it, guys, forkspoons may very well become a silverware staple.
This is why I absolutely want to purchase my own silver spork or maybe a whole set if I like it enough. Do you guys think you'll ever cave in and purchase your own set of metal sporks or perhaps you have your own very passionate argument against sporks. That's cool too, I guess, if you're into being angry about eating utensils.
Let's see some beans being spilled here, people! Share your thoughts. ____________________ β Sofi

I've seen utensils that eschew the combination of a fork and spoon and just have a fork at one end and a spoon on the other. To prevent food from sliding onto the handle when one end was in the air, they had a lip at the ends where the actual useful part of the utensil was. I haven't seen one of those things in a long time though.

Incidentally... Spork:
'swhat I thought of when I saw this thread name. (When I installed the Sims, one of the local stray cats was named Spork. He's since been adopted.  )

I might use a spork for eating some desserts. I'd personally use it for pie.
In short, anything I could potentially eat with both a spoon and a fork, I'd try using a spork.

| | Metal_Man88's Post | I prefer to use spoons for everything. Except the long pasta, then I use a long fork.
But that's about it. Knives? Pah! Only for steak that's so tough I can hardly chew it, anyway.

Totally odd question here, but where exactly would you purchase a spork?
No, really, I'm serious.

I've got a titanium spork, but I don't know where it came from.
I hardly ever use it.

I'm sure there's someone out there selling a whole set of sporks.
