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.
You really made me feel like I was there, laughing at you like the rest
Damn, I want a fish pie now
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.
Fine dining is so weird.
fine dining can go fork off
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.
With what kind of fork tho
Fork? .... I'd use the same spoon I used to make the food and eat it straight from the pot to save myself from doing more dishes than I have to.
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?
I've been to many italian establishments and have never seen them. probably just a gimmick nobody knows about
It would be so uncomfortable to use 😬
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 don't know why people can't just spin their forks and have the spaghetti wrap around? Never seemed like something difficult or requiring extra tools
I call BS. Every other fork (even the crab "pick") I can believe it have seen. I do not believe in this.
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.
Could be, an old Italian guy showed me the spoon as the base and fork as the spinning tool. But yeah maybe it is regional...or like giving white people a fork at an asian place
Why would you eat a table?
Of all the fork shapes, the table fork seems the least useful for its named purpose.
All forks are table forks if you put them on the forking table.
With an honorable mention for the cocktail fork. If you don't want to drink it, at least use a spoon
Most of those are threeks and twoks. Only a few forks.
This joke goes hard
The list is disappointingly missing many variants, such as:
The knork was invented by Abraham Lincoln and Gandhi.
Where are garden fork and tuning fork?
Better get out your pitchfork
Table fork and salad fork are the same. Change my mind.
Well yeah, where else would you eat salad? The floor? Everyone knows that's where burgers are served.
Salad fork is usually slightly smaller, but that's about it.
Italians
South east asians
Germans
I love sticky rice tho. Just saying.
Those Asians, they had some ideas, let me tell you.
I love that all of the responses in here are just forking jokes.

And remember if you see a fork in the road, take it.
What if I'm having fish salad for dessert?
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.
Are the extra-thick tines on the fish and pie forks for cutting?
