Online Etymology Dictionary, © 2010 Douglas Harper Slang definitions & phrases for prong Expand What is a prong on a fork? | Reference.com What is a prong on a fork? A: Quick Answer A prong on a fork is the pointed part used to spear food, according to Dictionary.com. It is also called a tine. As noted by Etiquette Scholar, the number, size and shape of tines depends upon the type of fork. Full Answer A typical dinner fork has long tapered prongs. A lobster fork often has one long tine in the center flanked by two hooked prongs, while a general seafood fork has three short prongs. To spear fruit easily, a fruit fork has narrow tines. Salad forks tend to have flat, broad prongs. On both salad and dessert forks, the left tine is wider than the rest. This improves the diner's ability to cut with a fork. Forks Forks Oyster Fork . The shapes of the fork tines accommodate particular foods. Forks wrought with long tapered tines, such as a dinner fork, are made to spear pieces of food, such as steak.

Forks with a wide left tine and an optional notch, such as a salad fork, fish fork, dessert fork, and pastry fork, provide extra leverage when cutting food that normally does not require a knife. Forks with curved tines, such as the oyster fork, are made to follow the shape of the shell. Although flatware is made in continental and American lengths, the American size, also called place size, is the most popular dimension. THE DINNER FORK The dinner fork measures about 7 inches in length. It is used to eat the main course at all formal and informal meals. The continental-size dinner fork is slightly larger than the American-size dinner fork. It is used for the most formal events. The American-size dinner fork, or place size, is approximately ½ inch shorter than continental size and is used in the informal table setting. FISH FORK The fish fork is approximately 7¼ to 7¾ inches in length and is used in formal and informal dining. To provide leverage in separating fish from the body, the fish fork features an extra wide left tine, and an optional notch, grooved to fit over the bones.

LUNCHEON FORK The luncheon fork is approximately 6¾ inches long, a size in proportion with a luncheon plate, and found more often in older sets of flatware. LOBSTER FORK The lobster fork is approximately 6¾ to 8 inches long. It is made with one long narrow tine that ends with two hooks or with a long, narrow center tine and two hooked tines on either side; both shapes are used to spear lobster served in a shell. Because the lobster shell is steadied in the hand and the lobster fork is held in the other hand, the utensil is used only in informal dining. FRUIT FORK The fruit fork is made with narrow tines and a long slender handle; it is approximately 6¼ inches in overall length. Although the fruit fork is used in formal and informal dining, Americans tend to eat cut fruit with fingers, and the fruit fork is used more often in Europe. SALAD FORK The tines of salad forks are flatter and slightly broader than those of a dinner fork, and the utensil is approximately 6 inches long.

To provide leverage when cutting thick veins of lettuce or broad vegetables, the salad fork is made with an extra wide left tine that is sometimes grooved. For additional strength, the second and third tines of the salad fork are occasionally connected by a rod. The salad fork is used in formal and informal dining. It is also used for appetizer courses other than seafood, such as pate. DESSERT FORK The dessert fork is a specialized fork approximately 6 to 7 inches in length, that looks similar to a salad fork, only a little narrower. It is not made as part of a flatware set. The left tine is extra wide to provide leverage in cutting firm dessert, such as baklava. The dessert fork is used in formal and informal dining. ICE-CREAM FORK The ice­cream fork features a wide shallow bowl with three tines at the tip. The spoon part is used to scoop and eat soft ice cream, and the tines to cut, spear, and lift firm bites to the mouth. PASTRY FORK The pastry fork looks similar to a salad fork, but it is narrower and slightly shorter, approximately 5 to 5½ inches long.

To provide leverage in cutting, the left tine is often notched. The pastry fork is used in informal dining, although it is not essential; it is not used in formal dining where two dessert utensils are presented. SEAFOOD FORK The seafood fork, also known as a cocktail fork; is a small, narrow, three-pronged fork made with short tines and a long handle; it is approximately 4½ to 5½ inches in length. The purpose of a seafood fork is to spear seafood. The seafood fork is used in formal and informal dining. At a multi-course formal dinner or luncheon, the seafood fork is the fourth fork laid on the table. It is placed to the right of the oval soup spoon. Sometimes the tines of the seafood fork rest in the bowl of the soup spoon and the handle is angled to the right. At an informal meal, the seafood fork is used as needed. STRAWBERRY FORK The strawberry fork is made with three long narrow tines and is approximately 4¾ to 5¾ inches long. The strawberry fork is used to pierce fresh strawberries and dip them into condiments, such as powdered sugar, brown sugar, whipped cream, and sour cream.

SNAIL FORK The snail fork is approximately 4½ inches in length with two long, pointed tines. In formal dining, snails are prepared without shells and served on a snail dish made with indentations to hold the buttery sauce and the meat is eaten with a snail fork. In informal dining, snails are usually served in shells. The diner steadies the shell with metal tongs or a napkin-covered hand, and extracts the meat with a snail fork held in the other hand. OYSTER FORK The oyster fork is a small utensil made with three short wide curved tines, approximately 4 inches in length. The left tine is extra wide to assist in cutting the membrane that connects the oyster to the shell. The oyster fork is used only in informal dining. The shell is steadied with the fingers of one hand and the utensil is held in the other hand to extract the meat. Read More Invitation Etiquette When do you send out invitations to a dinner party?

Wine Tasting Etiquette Once it is poured into the proper glass, it’s time to evaluate and enjoy the wine. Evaluating wine involves four basic steps – looking, swirling, smelling, and tasting. Step #1 – Look. Holding the wine glass up against a white background, such as a napkin or table cloth, to evaluate its color and clarity. Red wines should range in color from deep purple to brick red. White wines should range in color from lemon gold to golden amber. Step #2 – Swirl. Swirl the wine in your glass to aerate it. Step #3 – Smell. Put your nose in the glass and take a deep breath. Older wines should have subtler aromas than younger ones. Step #4 – Taste. To taste the wine, fill your mouth about ½ full and subtly swish the wine around. Fork - definition of fork by The Free Dictionary Fork - definition of fork by The Free Dictionary 1.
