Standard fork got 4 prongs?

Indeed why has a fish fork got 3 and various other forks a different number of prongs?

But it's the standard fork that's exercising mind at the moment. I hope the Bounce collective can provide an answer

Any more than four and Comb comes with a lawsuit?

I was going to ponder if it was to do with the size of a fork to fit a human hand and gob, then how many prongs could be fit into that while keeping them as sturdy as they need to be.

Then I realised garden forks are the same

Are they prongs or tines though?

Not all foods need pierced but scooped. Easier to have a wider fork and knife rather than spoon, skinny wee 2 pronged fork and knife?

A promising theory. I’ve been giving this more thought than I ought to, and I also suspect that more than four tines (thank you Sancho) might cause food to get stuck in them, while less may provide insufficient grip.

I am looking into the costs of a smelter and manufacturing facilities to conduct some empirical testing.

As an aside and directly opposite to what I said it's all spoon and fork here. I'm an ex vegan but still won't touch a chop or a steak. Long time since I needed a knife. Spoons are the way to go

Does the same apply to a pitch fork?

Ask the grounds keeper
