[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 274060, member: 1991"] I just checked out my stash of plastic spoons, forks etc and found something which comes close to being a plastic Splayd. It has the four tines, they're much longer than the sporks I see on your websites. The tines are half the length of the whole bowl of the thing - in other words, if you consider an oval as being the whole surface of the eating end, the tines are half that length. So it is closer to being a Splayd but it has the rounded spoon shoulders of a spork and not a Splayd. It functions more like a Splayd though, it is the one I use for picnics orwhen I go to the beach and pack a salad to go with me. I got it (like all the others) from KFC, they hand them out to eat salad with... I think because Aussies have Splayds, the plastic stuff they hand out over here has to be similar, or people complain. According to this Powehouse Museum website, Splayds were originally invented in Australia in 1943. Marg [/QUOTE]
