The way OP highlighted the best fork of them all is absolutely wild and I’m never going to recover
Looks like the worst to me as well.
Different forks for different folks
People who think that is the best fork need to be investigated.
Beautifully spaced prongs, sleek long handle, no random ridges or engraving to have dirt get caught in. Chef kiss, no notes.
Square handle bases are the worst!
Nope. We got a 12 seating set for our wedding and donated everything else. We’ve replaced lost/damaged pieces with same ever since, so we have an entirely matching set.
It must feel great to have your life figured out.
Sharp corners and edges, low quality stamping, hard to clean between the prongs and crevices. These are thr things thay make me throw out forks and spoons.
Its not just a fork.
I also have a spoon, a butter knife, and a steak knife, that I all hate for no reason, that I actively put back if I accidentally grab them to get something else.
I hate them so much that I will just skip eating if thats all in the drawer and I dont feel like doing dishes.
Maybe its time to let go
Suicide is a bit of an overreaction
THE CUTLERY!
We have some forks which are made out of really thin tin you can bend them very easily. I hate those forks. No one uses them. I wish they would take the hint and fork off, instead they hang around trying to blend in with the better cutlery and get picked by accident.
Forkget about it
The good fork is thick and has fancy engravings. It came with the random shit in the house.
The bad fork has a scrape on the prong. You sometimes feel it’s shameful failings across your tung. It makes the plastic disposables feel fancy.
Yup
Idk why I keep this fork that’s slightly bent and I just sigh then use it.
I love how almost everyone in this thread seems to not have a cutlery set. Including me! I can’t be bothered with that shit, there’s better uses for my time and money.
I love you hated fork
It’s more fun that way.
I just checked Ikea’s website and they have cutlery sets on clearance for <$2. Theres plenty at various price points, and only the most expensive get over $20.
I understand different people are in different situations. There have been times in my life when $20 was a big expense. I also don’t like throwing out good stuff to buy new stuff. But to me the hassle of dealing with the one bad fork isn’t worth messing around with - either toss it or put it in the junk drawer as a non-food instrument and buy new ones of you get low.
Well, the thing is also that among the selection there’s forks I love, it’s a domestic adventure!
Used to have a spoon like this, but I’ve since replaced all my silverware with matching pieces 😌 which is amazing btw
We did the same too. They’re also black, which is awesome.
I have one spoon I prefer because of the thinness of it and I have had a 4 pack in my hand and not bought them because it might make it less special. How am I supposed to be an adult with a brain like this?
I hate all forks big enough not to pass for a salad fork
Every time man, why are the edges so sharp
At age 35 you should be considering throwing out (well, donating) the misc silverware for a matching set, I think. This was more of an issue in my 20s when my silverware was all mismatching.
The tines are a changing
For some reason mismatched silverware always bothered me.
It is one of the first things I purchased when I moved out of my parents house, and I’ve had a complete set of matching silverware since.
…except for one spoon. I have one spoon my great grandmother gave me that I’ve held onto for over 40 years that doesn’t match. That spoon is only used for eating ice cream.
Yeah, it’s funny, I’ve replaced almost all of my silverware but I still have a couple of spoons that are from the set my parents had when I was growing up. It’s an oddly nostalgic thing.
I’m this way with a spoon. I call it the dingus spoon. Hate it.
