Best Utensil

Well? Spoon for me - you can eat almost anything with a spoon. I also hate eating cake or pie with a fork! :furious3:

Fork. Knives are nice, but with a fork you can just rip things apart anyway.

SPORK! But after that, knife

This ones a no brainer. Knives without a doubt. Especially the swiss army type ~D How can you compare a fork or spoon to that.

This is the most difficult poll ever. I mean how can you compare these great objects. There should be an option for all. :bow:

A sharpened fork! Makes all other utensils redundant.

Sporks are an abomination before the Lord. Heretic.

And I didn't mean "knives" like combat knives or anything, just your ordinary culinary cutlery type knives.

I thought about making multiple selections possible, but couldn't be bothered. ~D

If we're talking only kitchen utensils (that means no real knife) I'd go with fork. But if you're talking wildlife and outdoors, Gawain is correct in that a knife (real knife no swiss sucker knife) is the best though.

Yeah I was talking like hunting knifes. I was jokin with the swiss bit. But even around the house you can do more with a kitchen knife that a fork or spoon.

spork with a serrated side. the ultimate utensil

Clearly a fork.

With a fork you can eat everything. You can put things in your mouth, turn it on the side and use it like a knife, and rip soft things instead of cutting them.

fishknives: cut (sort of), shovel (sort of), eat soup (sort of).

For cooking, a knife.

For eating, a fork.

Although eating cake is best with a spoon. (Cake, by the by, should be cold. Right out of the fridge.)

A knife. You can eat anything with a good old 14 inch dagger. :bow:

Would you like to bet? I believe knifes were invented before forks and spoons and at on time were hence the only untensils.

Wouldnt that be a sporknife? A spork is that stupid plastic thing they give you at fast food resturants so they dont have to carry both spoons and forks.

The name "Spork" is a blend of the words (sp)oon and f(ork). Spork ® is the trademarked name for a piece of cutlery combining the features of a spoon, a fork and sometimes a knife. It is also called the Runcible Spoon. A patent for the Spork ® was issued on August 11th, 1970 to Van Brode Milling Co., Inc., of Clinton, Mass.

Lets not go getting the org sued. ~D

knife after youre done you can stab your friend and take his wallet

Sporks are pretty useless. If we're talking about dinner knives not real knives, I'd definitely have to say fork. A fork can do everything except eat soup, but you can drink soup, so that doesn't matter.

I eat cake with-- a fork!

I eat applesauce with-- a fork!

I like spoons for soup, but as I said they're a luxury. And depending on what sort of steak you're eating you might need a bowie knife-- but that falls outside of the current choices. ~;)

DA

To the fork crowd: Like without soup is not a life worth living.

(Unless you're a bunch of barbarians who lift the bowl off the table with both hands and slurp. You vulgar savages.)

That's how the Japanese do it! They use chopsticks! ~D

DA

Any culture still using chopsticks has no place in a utensil debate! You know those guys have seen forks before. Why the perseverence?

As Seinfeld once asked, "What the hell were you guys doing 1,000 years ago working in the fields? Wielding two pool cues or a pitchfork?

I mean, I'll use chopsticks at restaurants where it's appropriate, but only so I don't look like too much of an uncultured buffoon and furthermor-

Oh God! New Family Guy on! Gotta run!

That's nothing. I lift the plate off the table and shovel the last mouthful right in with my fork. Drives my woman nuts, but the kids love it.

That's me. I'm going to be honest, hands are the best. Why use utencils when you have hands? Just pick up the side of beef and dig in, you don't even need to cook it! ~:cheers:

I'm semi-serious btw

You are the man! I do the same.

Spoon, fork, knife, bare hands... Whatever is appropriate for maximum taste. So, GAH!

I haven't had raw beef yet, but I'd like to. While it's still warm.

I vote knife. Cut into sizeable chunks, stab, put in mouth. Plates are also unnecessary. Knife and bowl all the way.

:idea2:

Gah! Gawain got it right, the spork is the ultimate achievement in food-cramming-into-your-mouth technology

ichi :bow:

I love that in every language I have seen a reference to a spork it has always been a combination of that language's spoon and fork.

Hands are the best Utensil.Everything else is just snobbery created by civilization. :furious:
