Today is going to be a short basically because Daylights Savings has totally kicked my ass and I can hardly function enough today to type. 

These spork like items are ice cream forks!

Today we wouldn't think twice about using a spoon.  But back in the Victorian era, they wouldn't be caught dead eating ice cream (especially sundaes) from a spoon. Even super strict etiquette devotees would put them on their table today.

Apparently the proper method today is to use these forks if the ice cream is served on a plate and to use a spoon if served in a bowl.

Have you ever used an ice cream fork?
