@alphafox The tines on that fork are too short. I would change it too. I know it is technically just a fork and perfectly possible to eat with it and I would use it in someone else's house. But in my own house I prefer longer tines on my fork.

@MandersSnark1 @alphafox Agree, he gave her a desert fork & not a dinner fork, I would have done the same thing. Same as when I see people eating ice cream with a soup spoon & not a tea spoon…😳

@Huhimagine @MandersSnark1 @alphafox You don't think people should eat ice cream with a dessert spoon (or a parfait spoon, depending on the vessel)? Tea spoon tends to be more for children eating ice cream when a dessert spoon is too big for them.

@sqronce @MandersSnark1 @alphafox Desert spoons are the same as teaspoons in North America, not to be confused with espresso spoons. Parfait spoons have a long neck, not used for anything other than a parfait glass. Most kids eat ice cream out of a bowl.

@Huhimagine @MandersSnark1 @alphafox No. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dessert_s…

@sqronce @MandersSnark1 @alphafox Tell me, how many different types of spoons & forks are sold in an cutlery set, that the average person buys. That’s what I thought…

@Huhimagine @sqronce @alphafox Desert spoons and tea spoons. Maybe if you are a bit posh then soup spoons as well.

@MandersSnark1 @sqronce @alphafox No, teaspoons & soup spoons, dessert fork & dinner forks are found in the average cutlery case you’d buy in Tesco, Costco, IKEA etc.

@Huhimagine @sqronce @alphafox Desert fork, who has desert forks? Average set (UK) is Knives, Forks, Desert Spoons, Tea spoons. This set from John Lewis.

@MandersSnark1 @sqronce @alphafox Straight off Amazon, cutlery set sold in North America.. a.co/d/035RJLfT

@Huhimagine @sqronce @alphafox You are obviously more sophisticated than us. We wouldn't know what a desert fork was if it prodded us in the butt.🤣🤣🤣

@MandersSnark1 @sqronce @alphafox I’m honestly surprised, that’s not standard where you live…

@Huhimagine @sqronce @alphafox We peasants have no need for fancy cutlery.🤣
