I was having a conversation with a co-worker the other day at the restaurant where I work. We were polishing silverware at the end of the night and there was a lot to be done. He then posed the question, "We have all-purpose glassware, why can't we have all-purpose silverware?" I replied, "You mean, like a spork?" And he said, "Yes!" So, I began to wonder if there existed such a thing as a silver spork. Here is what I found.
There are quite a few titanium sporks out there for camping use. These multi-colored ones are fun. Or this simple one on Think Geek seems very classic. But fancier ones are hard to find. I found this one which is designed by Norway David Anderson. I can't find how much it costs, which probably means it costs too much. Then I found some "ice cream forks" which are beautifully engraved sterling silver and are being sold for a king's ransom. But they are not fooling us. These are not ice cream forks at all! They are definitely sporks!
But for me, this spork takes the cake. It's simple, sleek, modern, and definitely a spork. I want it! But at $100, I am just going to have to dream. "Oh spork, why can't I have thee?"
