Everyone was having a fish party so I grabbed my fish fork but once I arrived I realized I had grabbed my pastry fork instead. Everyone laughed at me. “Want a fish pie?” they kept asking. “Want a fish pie?”
God, I’m so embarrassed. I wish I had seen this chart sooner.
Fine dining is so weird.
When appearances and etiquette become more important than the food … I’d rather have a box of KD and watch some Netflix in my underwear.
Could be worse… could be like the old Japanese fine dining, where you’re just supposed to stare at the food and pretend to eat it.
There’s an actual fork for spaghetti!?!
Why have I never seen one before? WTF is this conspiracy?
it looks like it needs to go to a fork hospital
just use a fork and a spoon for spaghetti like a normal person
I still think it’s weird using a spoon for spaghetti.
I’ve seen it done. I get why people do it. I still think it’s weird.
Whatever. Be weird. So your thing. As long as it gets the food from the plate to your face, who am I to say it’s wrong?
I have never seen this. italians spin their fork in the spoon to wrap the noodles, seems to work fine. That spaghetti fork would have terrible mouth feel.
I’ve never seen an italian eat spaghetti with a spoon, but maybe it varies by region.
Seems like a common thing in North America. I’ve seen plenty of people use a spoon to hold the tip of their fork to spin it and ball up spaghetti (and similar noodle pasta).
I’m not even Italian, I think it’s weird. Far be it for me to tell anyone how to eat though. So I just shut my mouth and eat my spaghetti, my way.
The list is disappointingly missing many variants, such as:
- The Spork (an invention commonly attributed to Samuel W. Francis, but which remains in doubt)
- The Knork, from the popular show Knork and Knindy (knanu-knanu)
- Neptune’s trident (four out of five dentists recommend it)
- Cluster fork (as experienced by yours truly at least once per fortnight when production goes down)
- The most ancient and purest form of all: the monofork, aka kebap skewer
