A utensil that combines the functions of a spoon and a fork is commonly referred to as a "spork." The term "spork" is a portmanteau of the words "spoon" and "fork." It typically features a spoon-like bowl or scoop at one end and fork-like tines at the other end. The design aims to provide a versatile eating utensil that can be used for both scooping and spearing food. Sporks are often made from plastic, but they can also be found in metal or other materials. They are commonly used in outdoor settings, fast food establishments, and certain convenience-oriented dining situations.
