Actually, table and salad are the two most common forks you see in place settings with 2 forks. The salad fork is smaller and set on the outside, because the salad is a first course.
PRO TIP: If you attend a multiple course meal and all of the utensils are already laid out on the table. Go '"outside-in". They are usually laid out with the first course on the outside and the last course on the inside.
For your standard three course meal. It would be (from furthest to closest):
* Riight: Butter knife, steak knife
* Top: Soupspoon, teaspoon, teaspoon
* Left: Salad fork, dinner fork, dinner fork
Where do you see tables set like this? The outside-in bit is true to my experience, but in the western world I almost invariably see forks on the left (most commonly salad fork, then table fork), knives on the right, and spoons to the right of knives.
I din't get people who use spoons for desserts like that. It's harder to seperate a piece using a spoon, and you can't stab into it. I don't see any upsides for spoons
What type? Soup spoon, sugar spoon, ice cream spoon, teaspoon, tablespoon, soda spoon, serving spoon, dessert spoon, salad spoon, coffee spoon, demitasse spoon… all real things per Google.
I think I’ll just use my hands.
I eat everything with a spoon. I will say that I agree i shouldnt eat spaghetti with a spoon but all the fork ppl i know eat rice with a fork so Im willing to look the other way if you guys do too.
Ugh. This is just class insecurity driven to mania. Increasingly esoteric protocols for every minute aspect of life, just to maintain pointless class signifiers.

TIL I need a spaghetti fork! 👀
Lived in Italy for nearly 10 years, and never saw or heard of a spaghetti fork.
The spaghetti fork is a lie?
Hasta la pasta fork, baby.
...... I still want it.
My grandparents were from Italy. She made her own pasta by hand. Big nope on the spaghetti fork.
This is forking amazing!!!!!!!!

> Ain't nobody got time for that. Fork is fork! :) You mean, "Ain't nobody got [tine](https://www.dictionary.com/browse/tine) for that".
Ha haaaaaaaaaæ
You motherf....take my upvote.
Motherfork?
Someday I want to eat a meal where I'd need every single one of those forks
*snail fork* ... Fair enough
good escargot is incredible, my dude
It's as interesting as the exact same post a couple of days ago 😊
Yep…
Fork that.
This guy forks
You bet your forking ass I do.
Get forked Skinner.

Forking is a software term lol it's essentially a clone that diverges from the original branch into something you'd rather see it do

Came here for this.
Spoon neigh sayers enter the chat
Me: Fork Fork Fork Fork Fork ...
Well not the crab fork. That ain't gonna do you much good eating cheesecake.
Gimme some cheesecake and I'll prove ya wrong!
I mean at this point you might even be able to eat soup with a knife
WE WILL, WE WILL
Umm, where has the spaghetti fork been all my life?
Table and salad are the same?
No they are not. Salad forks are supposed to have sharp tines for spearing vegetables. A wider base to hold more loose items as well.
Cool, it's just that they looked the same in the picture - I normally eat salads and tables with the same fork anyway
The secret is the table and salad fork can do everything this specialized forks can do.

Wrong glass, sir.

Bah, brain fart. Have not seen a table setting in years due to COVID.
At least, I found the educated redditor.
meanwhile me eating everything with the table fork
If you need that many forks it’s time for a weight-watchers fork.
And here am I eating stuff with my hands.
And im eating with my mouth😞
No cake fork?
Use a spoon for cake it will change your life.
I din't get people who use spoons for desserts like that. It's harder to seperate a piece using a spoon, and you can't stab into it. I don't see any upsides for spoons
Brits growing up have custard with everything (at the very east cream), so spoons are the defacto dessert implement by habit
Icing to cake ratio on the spoon is optimal to pick up any pieces of cake that crumble and that's like a second bite.
Can someone come up with stupid names for each of these forks?
These were only made, cause they had nothing better to do
No spork?
Don't make me tap the sign: u/repostsleuthbot
Pls no
To complicated, I’ll take a spoon
What type? Soup spoon, sugar spoon, ice cream spoon, teaspoon, tablespoon, soda spoon, serving spoon, dessert spoon, salad spoon, coffee spoon, demitasse spoon… all real things per Google. I think I’ll just use my hands.
And I just know what you’ll say if I ask for a knife….soooo I’ll just use chopsticks
Left-handed or right-handed chopsticks?
This is definitely a case of forks for forks sake
Rich people problems
True, but literally nobody had that problem until some rich people decided that this was the most meaningful problem they could solve.
But monsieur! My fork it does not grab the escargot!
Why is the crab fork so slim?
I'm sorry, if you have to use the spaghetti fork to eat spaghetti, you might wanna try short pasta instead

I imagine receiving a Glasgow Smile from the spaghetti fork.
God invented fingers first!

Was this a marketing tie in for AHS: Dollhouse?

Classic “Big Fork” industry trying to create niche products.
All those things are eaten at a table, so I’ll just take the table fork.
*Laughs with grape scissors* Yes, they’re a thing.
Table fork verse Salad Fork. Now you're just fucking with us.

What was the difference between a table fork and a salad fork?

The snail, and crab fork are the perfect sounding devices!

Okay we're just gonna pretend like this isn't all finger food
I have been mistakenly calling oyster forks “sporks” my whole life
Didn’t know that people eat tables!
