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.
But what happens when you are served a seafood dessert made with fruit and fish?
The Masterson’s will have a bit of a tizzy when it comes to hosting next months neighborhood afternoon soiree. I’m sure the Jefferson’s will have a chuckle at the end of the meal.
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 get it, I don’t do it with a spoon, but I understand the problem it’s trying to solve.
Most forks are curved, so you naturally pick up the pasta so it lands in the concave side, but when you flip it over to start spinning, the pasta slides off the end or down to the handle. So it becomes a shitty game to try to keep the spaghetti on the fork while you twirl it to fit the whole thing in your mouth.
There’s a few solutions to this, like spinning the fork against the plate or using a spoon, or a fancy spaghetti fork (like in the OP). I’m sure there’s more, that’s just what I can think of.
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.

And remember if you see a fork in the road, take it.
Italians
South east asians
Germans
I love sticky rice tho. Just saying.
Those Asians, they had some ideas, let me tell you.

Seriously what’s the point.
How is a salad fork any better than a commoner fork for a salad.
The same for most of these.
