Comment on With regards to cutlery, do you prefer a spoon or a fork for eating cake?

I suppose you mean “minus” instead of minutes

Yeah, that was an autocorrect error lol

those “advantages” don’t really matter, at least not for most people.

Whether they agree with me on the relative merits of dessert forks and tea spoons, I guarantee that most people prefer to use whichever one they find most convenient.

Deciding that it doesn’t matter AT ALL to most people just because you seemingly consider using the slightly better option to be elitist compared to using an inferior (at the specific use) but more versatile utensil os a very weird take 😄

A cake can be cut with a teaspoon just as well

Nope. That’s categorically untrue.

Some might prefer a teaspoon based on other properties, but the flatter profile of the fork makes it moderately better at cutting and infinitely better at stabbing your cake like a pitchfork gathering hay.

for most cakes the fork function doesn’t really work

Again, that’s categorically untrue. More fluid-adjacent cakes might benefit from the scooping capabilities more than the stabbing and superior cutting abilities of the fork, but they’re by far the minority rather than the majority.

But hey, have fun. Do what you like

Weird thing to say after spending so much time and effort telling me how doing what I like is wrong and unpopular, but thanks for the permission, I guess 🤷🏻😄
