AIBU about the cake fork?!

[ProseccoPoppy]

I discovered this evening that DH thinks that although a spoon is "traditional", a cake fork is a suitable, indeed preferable, implement for eating sorbet

I think there's a reason most people use a spoon like being able to get dessert into your mouth quicker and that cake forks are for, well, cake... (Shocking stuff this).

AIBU to wonder what kind of a sorbet forking freak man I'm married to?

FIL trying to eat spaghetti with a fork & spoon was not pretty. He looked like a toddler. His wife had to lean across & cut it all up for him.

Mind you he did say, in an Italian restaurant, that he'd have the chilli con carne 'because he knew what what was'. He was very confused when we told him it wasn't an Italian dish. 'But it ends in an i'.......

Schwabi my DH is going to be the founding member of my "cake fork usage nature vs nurture study" - he's a super example of nature overcoming nurture to the bemusement and upset of his lovely mum! ok so I may watch too many pseudoscience TV programs

To everyone suggesting a spork I think DD has an infant one (which may still be in its packaging). May need to try that out and I like your style Krampus!!

Oh dear, iklboo did you manage to keep a straight face?! If so you're a nicer person than I am! (Not sorry. Not even a little bit sorry. )

Nope. No straight face. Total . Then the thought of my drunk BIL caterwauling his way through Robbie Williams!

Sorry - cross thread! But still, no. DH & I were giggling like naughty schoolchildren. DS (7 at the time) was really quite affronted at grandad not being able to eat spaghetti 'properly'.
