ABSTRACT:
An eating utensil (100) is provided for serving among a fork, a spoon, a pair of chopsticks, or a knife. The eating utensil (100) can have a handle (102) with two members (104, 106) separated and extending from a base portion (108). A first member opens into a first spoon portion (110) having a first irregular shaped interior edge (114). A second member opens into a second spoon portion (120) having a second irregular shaped mating interior edge (124). A closing of the two members mates the first interior edge and the second interior edge for creating a spoon aspect. An opening of the two members can provide a dual prong aspect as a fork. The irregular shaped edge can have a winding contour (115) followed by a straight contour (116). An outer edge (111) of a spoon portion can provide a cutting edge leading to a tine (112).
