	The Straight Dope: What's a runcible spoon?
		A runcible spoon is a utensil suitable for runciation.
		In the 1920s one self-appointed runciologist announced that "a runcible spoon is a kind of fork with three broad prongs or tines, one having a sharp edge, curved like a spoon, used with pickles, etc. Its origin is in jocose allusion to the slaughter at the Battle of Ronceveaux, because it has a cutting edge."
		Also the use of a runcible spoon for the pedestrian purpose of eating pickles seemed at odds with the refined original menu of mince and quince.

	Bloomingnews - December 2001 - Runcible Spoon 25 Years and Counting
		The Spoon was voted Best Coffee 8 years or so in a row, until the Independent (Voice) dropped the category.
		Personally, I always thought that poll was laughable, since everyone knows that people vote with their feet, and therefore McDonald's is the best breakfast in town, but it's kept the faithful happy, and the poll we won does, oddly enough, in our opinion reflect the truth.
		I hope that you all continue to enjoy the Spoon for another 25 years, and that we remain a lone outpost against fadism.

	Halfbakery: Improved Spork
		Maybe the "spoon" portion could be elongated a bit and the edge turned into a corrugated blade of some sort.
		When drinking from it, soup or custard, one uses the spoon properly; with the long axis parallel to the table-edge, and the edge away from you, you tilt it away to fill it with soup and then drink from the nearer side of the spoon's bowl, not from the front.
		Maybe the oceanic rhythm, the systole and diastole of the soup flowing into the spoon, quivering as you lift it, and continuing its journey over the prunes-and-prisms lips of the diner, is reason enough.

		He presented a fine sterling silver runcible spoon to Queen Victoria in hopes of gaining a lucrative sinecure as a purveyor to the Queen's household, as the shopkeepers William Fortnum and Hugh Mason had done early in the reign.
		Although the Queen found the device to be "a curious trinket,"¹ she pointed out the physical difficulties of pinning down one's meat and simultaneously cutting it, a weakness which Lear in his enthusiasm had overlooked.
		His descendants have not abandoned the fight to have the spoon accepted into society, however, although their only victory in the long battle was to have a modified runcible spoon called the spork, which lacked a cutting edge, accepted for use by the British Prison Service in 1972.
