The spork is a useful eating utensil.
You can have two utensils close at hand: a spoon and a fork. How cumbersome.
Or, better yet, you can have one spork--examples pictured below.
The spork seems to be a modern invention. Right? Well, perhaps not.
On a recent museum visit in Florence, we spotted a 500 year old spork. In the photo below is a fork and a bowl of a spoon. The spoon part has slots where the fork fits. Slide in the fork and you have a working spoon. Or, in modern parlance, a spork.
Who knew?
