The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
Just when the utensil mash-ups appeared to have reached their apex, we get The Kung Foon. An East meets West fusion of cutlery, The Kung Foon combines the food-stabbing and scooping features of a spork with the clenching features of chopsticks.
So if you ever go camping and need to keep it real when you eat your sushi in the woods, or simply enjoy a plethora of eating options on take-out night — consider the titanium spork with accompanying chopstick handle. Kung Foon!!

The unnecessary merging of kitchen utensils continues. This time, the fork has dumped the spoon and has become one with the knife. Enter the Knork, which just might give the spork a run for its money as the ultimate franken-utensil and kitchen portmanteau.
The Knork has the standard food-stabbing feature of your average fork, with an added beveled ‘knife’ edge. It allows for the easy cutting of foods, but keeps from slicing your mouth open while eating. It’s like magic, but it’s really just a more efficient fork with a cooler name. Enjoy.

But where did this malformed utensil come from? What was the reasoning behind this seemingly useless eating tool? And most importantly, who is ultimately responsible for inventing it? Foodiggity has the answer… sort of.
The Eatensil is brought to us by the UK food delivery group Just Eat. In what could arguably be the greatest invention in the history of food, the Eatensil borrows heavily from the Swiss army knife school of design, and has created an all-in-one tool for getting food down your gullet.
