Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Ladies and gentlemen and Slashfood readers of all ages, put on your thinking caps and direct your attention to the photo at right. It's time to play name that utensil. I'll give everyone a head start, by stating the obvious. As you can see the image of the utensil in question is clearly an antique. What, you say that's not enough of a clue upon which to hang a guess! Fair enough: it's a fork.
Still not enough to go on? This particular mutation of the fork is designed to aid the consumption of a rather messy food of which there are purported to be more than 500 varieties. Check the jump for the answer. I've heard of such baroque dinnerware as the ice cream fork, but this my friends is something much more practical. It's a mango fork. The center tine is designed to be thrust into the wide end of the fruit so that the whole affair can be eaten more or less like a lollipop. All of which is a boon for me, I usually slurp down my mangoes over the sink. Somehow that approach now seems quite gauche. From now on it's a vintage mango fork for me. And not just because it can be wielded as a fearsome weapon.
