I have a need for sporks...

[Andy Griffith]

I was just trying to find a nice set of dinner table sporks.

I've got some relatives and their little ones coming up for the holidays, and I figured a nice touch (and laugh) would be to set the dinner table setting with some stainless steel sporks.

I can find the big salad sporks, plastic sporks and even titanium ones- but not any that are just basic stainless that would be the correct size to match a table setting. I don't care about the style, so much as the size.

Can y'all help point a fellow American in the right direction who's down on his luck?

Go to the local thrift store and buy some large spoons that you can cut down into sporks.... you can use a Dremel Tool to make your own.

Or, buy the Snow Peak titanium ones and give them as a gift, they are about the best sporks made and will last a lifetime. Explain to your relatives how "the spork" is the greatest invention of the western world.
It can become a family tradition, every Christmas they go to Andy's house for dinner and bring their own spork!

Try Sportsmen's Warehouse. I noticed they had some but I don't remember what kind materials or how much (several kinds)

Andy, nobody needs a spork.

But guess what?
You can go to;

Sporks: Party Forks, Buffet Forks, Cutlery Utensils

Who the heck would of thought?

Your undying gratitude would be appreciated, but cold cash is preferred.

Didn't know the words "nice" and "sporks" could be used in the same sentence.

I'm not much of a sporks fan.

Go to Taco Bell and grab a bunch of plastic ones and paint the silver. Just don't use lead based paint!

Wonder why they were never called foons?

How about this?

Sporks: Party Forks, Buffet Forks, Cutlery Utensils

For a group of otherwise well rounded folks, our posters seem sorely lacking in any background in Victorian tableware. Y'all can call them Sporks if you want, but that's a term usually applied to utensils found a KFC to shovel their "sides" in.

So go to the Replacements.com site and pick a sterling silver pattern. You can use the company Towle and Old Colonial or Old Master if you like. I only suggest those because I know they'll work. Then look at the 100 year old items they called "Ice Cream Forks" or "Ice Cream Spoons". The difference being that around the origins of Ice Cream, there were 2 proper instruments used to eat it. If there were condiments, like Strawberries, Pecans or whatever, you used a "Fork" to help with it. Otherwise, you used a "Spoon". Those were specialized and a proper dining room had both as part of the silver service. Yes, we have them.

Sir, you are truly a wealth of information!

Spork says "live long and prosper" oh wait, wrong thought process.
