A spork is a versatile eating utensil that combines the features of a spoon and a fork. It typically has a shallow bowl like a spoon at one end and tines like a fork at the other, making it useful for a variety of foods. Sporks are often made from plastic, metal, or other materials and are popular for their convenience in casual dining settings. Sporks are commonly found in fast-food restaurants, picnics, and camping gear due to their lightweight and multifunctional design. They are especially handy for eating dishes that require both scooping and spearing, such as salads, pasta, and soups.
