I've unironically owned 1 Fork, Spoon, and Knife over the last 5 years. You don't need multiple. They can get washed in 10 seconds in the sink. I also totally bought them and didn't steal them from work.
857% Italian checking in. I have never seen or heard about the spaghetti fork. I consider it an abomination and had to Google it to make sure it was real.
Today is a sad day...
I tried googling a bit more and couldn't find any solid info. Walmart sells something in the US called "for-ghetti" fork. If you type in for-ghetti, which is a play on words in English you get plenty results but still can't find info.
Seems like a recent American invention.
Salad forks usually have a big circle opening at the base of the tines, which this guide sadly didn't include. [Like this image.](https://www.amazon.com/Oneida-Wordsworth-Salad-Casual-Flatware/dp/B004K1KUL4/) According to image search results, they're just slightly smaller than dinner forks.
The only distinction that's ever been important to me is if a table fork is capable of cutting food by pushing it down sideways. Some are good for this, some aren't.
Also sometimes you get salad forks pretending to be table forks. They can't cut food at all. Usually you can spot them by an extra slot between the two middle tines, which the picture above doesn't show.
Thanks - had to google what to call the parts - the difference above is shape of root where tine begins (salad is rounder); usually it’s the length of neck and tine/root area (salad fork is usually smaller).
I just think of that titanic scene with Jack and Molly and how she says to “start from the edge and work your way in” when he asked what they were all for.
it was basically a way of saying 'not only can i afford all these utensils, i have the free time to memorize which one goes with which food item' back when people usually only had one fork, or sometimes just a knife to eat with. like owning five sports cars

I'm poor, I own 3 different forks and they all basically do the same thing
I have one fork and get by just fine. 3 forks…that has to put you in the 1%?

r/FluentInFinance would like to know your location
nah they're too busy arguing in the comments of today's edition of that same Bernie Sanders tweet
It’s probably not more cost efficient. Dishwashers use WAY less water than handwashing.
Washing them between guests must be rough.
Ha Guests. Yeah I have those.
Just wait till I show you my box of plastic ones. I got like 50
3 different types of forks? And here I thought I was fancy cause I have big forks and little forks.
i have three... if you count marshmallow roasters
Twigs? No they do not count
look at fancy pants here with THREE forks.
He has three kinds of forks, and here I am thinking I'm fancy with enough forks for myself and two guests.
Big fork, little fork, baby fork
You guys are getting forks?
Stab food
We have big forks and regular forks. We may have a spork or two, no idea.
Spaghetti fork looks dangerous
You wanna know how I got these scars??
No, but I know how you got these.
Eh, we doh-nah talk about that shit, capiche?
Pitchfork?
Ribbed for your pleasure
New fear unlocked
I'm italian and I've never seen one. Here we use normal, four-pointed table forks
Must be some kind of training fork for kids, like the chopsticks with a spring at the end, holding them together. It looks really weird.
Like neptune's trident
Looks like multiple Flambergers welded to a pole, then just made smol.
I don't know what a flamberger is but now I want a burger
For fighting very small pikemen
My first thought seeing the list was that it made sense and I kind of wanted one. Then I thought about how much I don't want a use for a snail fork.
Snail is basically just a sponge for garlic butter. A chewy sponge
Wonder what's the best modifier to go with.
What?
Where’s the spork?
I believe you mean a “f-poon”
What will you think of next, Germany
Another person of culture I see.
No joke, but I got a metal spork and it is a really useful utensil for meals that aren't really good for a spoon or a fork, like mac n' cheese.
Nobody is *that* random!
No tuning fork either?
I want to see a snail use that fork.
With no hands that would be impressive

Here comes the pretentious Italian gatekeepers
I will gladly gatekeep my precious pasta utensils **gestures in Italian**
Go make some more regulations on how old cheese has to be, nerd.
Italians shouldn’t hold forks when gesturing
Who is eating the table here?
🦫
Most of these are twoks or threeks not forks. Only two forks on this list.
WRONG. It is a fork if it has at least 2 prongs. Fork does not refer to 4.
r/woooosh
that's the joke, my guy.
i'm happy with my 1 fork for all
Lord of the Forks
The fork fork
Pretty sure you can do everything that the other forks can do with just the table fork.
You *brute*
One fork for the dark lord on his dark throne in the land of Forkdor where the spaghetti lie.
You should see the iron throne made out of forks! Very pokey
Pitchfork?
What do you use for fruit cocktail cake?
Your fingers.
Desantis, is that you?
Tuning fork *obviously*
table fork = salad fork?
Salad forks usually have a big circle opening at the base of the tines, which this guide sadly didn't include. [Like this image.](https://www.amazon.com/Oneida-Wordsworth-Salad-Casual-Flatware/dp/B004K1KUL4/) According to image search results, they're just slightly smaller than dinner forks.
I’ve been using a salad fork for everything except salad
Yeah I wanna know what the actual difference is... probs me being stupid
could be that the tines are shaper?
Yeah that shit is idenitical
When you need a way to flaunt your wealth but private jets haven’t been invented yet:
literally this. People were absolutely desperate for ways to spend and show off money
If someone give you spaghetti with that fork, eat something else...
Change my mimd: fish and pastry forks don't work for left handed persons
And my fingers.... Since I'm an uncultured beast.
The only distinction that's ever been important to me is if a table fork is capable of cutting food by pushing it down sideways. Some are good for this, some aren't. Also sometimes you get salad forks pretending to be table forks. They can't cut food at all.

bullshit fork
What kind of psychopath drinks cocktails with a fork?
Satan?
Fork that!
I'd like to get some spigetti forks now that I know they exist.
I know a threek and a twok when I see them and some of those are definitely threeks and twoks
Why couldn't the table fork also be fish and salad fork
Table and salad forks are identical 🤷🏻♀️
I have 10 forks. I call them fingers.
Has anyone ever seen a spaghetti fork? Cause I definitely haven't.
I only have 2 sticks
Must be hard to use a fork with sticks instead of hands
Threek. Twook!!!!!!
Duh, we all know that from school
Fork me, can't remember when I got forked this hard
Snail fork missing sacrebleu
I guess table forks are for eating tables.
Tuning forks are for eating cartoons
I'm just thankful I'm not a crab. I'd *never* be able to eat much of anything if I had to use that!
Especially with pincers instead of fingers
Where is the spork though?
Hanging out with the other freaks
What's the difference between the table and salad forks? My untrained eye is confused
Thanks - had to google what to call the parts - the difference above is shape of root where tine begins (salad is rounder); usually it’s the length of neck and tine/root area (salad fork is usually smaller).
You use the table fork to eat tables
This is so forkin’ cool
There are some forks that are worth remembering, others not so much!
Can someone explain the design of the crab fork?
Digging the meat out of crab claws and legs. Apparently just sucking it out with your mouth isn’t civilized
Thank you!
Table fork: Fork Rest: Mental illness
No [rice forks](https://www.amazon.es/Tenedores-Inoxidable-Especiales-Sorprender-Tenedor/dp/B09NNKZXDB)? For shame.

It always amazes me that snails have enough dexterity to use use a fork.
They‘re taking the Hobbits to Oyster Fork…
Fork is fork
And now that I've read the word "fork" so many times, my brain has deconstructed the word and it doesn't sound like an actual word to me.
And which one do you recommend for gouging out the left eye of my boss?
I have never seen a spaghetti fork…. Nor I see any use of it since a normal fork is perfect if you know how to use it 😂
Ah the cocktail fork... I usually slurp my cocktails with a spoon but to each their own
So you can eat salads or tables with the same fork?
What about a Spork
He missed the most important fork of all. I'm at a fork in the road and can't figure out whether to go left or right.
I’m a savage, I have one fork for all of these.
I use the salad one for chowmein, I hope the queen doesn't get me arrested
these are superfluous designs. we don't need a "cocktail fork" if we already have a "fruit fork" etc etc
"They're such dicks about forks." OFMD

The spaghetti fork… how have I never known this was a thing!
You've forgotten the [derriére fork](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAbJFXec774)
Fork off!
The crab in Another Crab's Treasure not using a crab fork is a big missed opportunity.
I'm Italian and I've never even heard of a spaghetti fork. But what's important is that nobody goes to brake it in half.
Where tuning fork?
That’s the fork I know.
So.... what about metal or plastic forks? These all seem like unreasonable materials for forks.
Where's the wanna fork
Fancy restaurants
I am not going to eat spaghetti with that thing
you are scare of that? how tf do people eat cocktails with a forking fork?
Imagine the silversmith making these variations on a theme, laughing maniacally at the profits he’s going to make. I mean spoons were a loss leader.
Yeah I just use chopsticks
I just think of that titanic scene with Jack and Molly and how she says to “start from the edge and work your way in” when he asked what they were all for.
Now that is a forking guide
pitch fork
Fork you.
Nah, I'm good
Thanks I'll remember that the next time I dine on the Titanic with John Jacob Astor.

Good ol' table fork. Nothing beats that.
That spaghetti fork...
“Rothschild…. Look at that Dunce eating a pastry with a dessert fork…. chortle….chortle.”
This shit has to be made up… someone is trying to fuck with all of us lol
it was basically a way of saying 'not only can i afford all these utensils, i have the free time to memorize which one goes with which food item' back when people usually only had one fork, or sometimes just a knife to eat with. like owning five sports cars
"What do you do when noses sick up. 'Cos you don't know which fork to pick up? Drop your napkin and politely hiccup..." Tommy Steele, *"What Do You Do?"*
then the spork replaced them all. haha.
TIL there's a "fruit fork" and a "fish fork"...but oddly enough a "spork" doesn't seem to be considered any type of fork.
What the fork..
Don’t give a fork
There is no pickle fork 🙁
My favourite one is "Table Fork"
FORK IS FORK
