Those with only one

I never thought about it. Guess I'll say 3.

[esdfsdflast]

Often the claws are called 'tines'.

For fork sake

[12dargernswearf]

I voted 4 btw.

No idea, I tried looking through the name change log but no sign that he was ever anyone interesting

Harpoons have either 1, 3 or 5 spikes. The first fork ever, Neptune's trident has 3. Yet most eating forks have 4. Why; One reason is that they are manufactured by rolling and not by welding the spikes into a central stem, as harpoons are.

What I hate about cheap cutlery is that some are made of too thin and too soft metal and tend to bend when facing a harder than usual substance. Frozen icecream is the most usual culprit.

[Roamsaffots]

I think you'll find it is 2 prongs for fondue

[Calluffence]

There is also this option, from an etiquette site:

Two-pointed fork, on the right of the plate, to pull out snails from the shell and for oysters.

[durootrium]

No prongs is for soup.

[meteeratymn]

I defer my choice to Nikolai.

[Impariclainna]

yeah this one chick freaked out on a date when I was eating mashed potatoes with my hands. Some women are just to stuck up.

Geez, gets some class. Didn't even know that.

[QEoMi752]

Eating pizza with your hands is such a lack of class.

[bestworkothlo]

What?

[EasyLOAD]

I think the bone part threw me off-course some, too.

I prefer thicker crust. Not too thick, but thick enough that it doesn't hang down from the bone.

A fork is a fork is a fork. It's what you do with it that matters.

[Agitoligflise]

Why use a fork when you can have a spork?

[limpoporanique]

sporks are an abomination!!

[pymnConyelell]

So the number of tines on the fork all depends on what you are eating.

A sort of a Prong cocktail.

[PerfectCreditForYou]

What a wuss.


BTW, what was the first clue you had that TRIdent might have 3 prongs?
