Normally I would agree with pairing the utensils to the cuisine being consumed. However, the past few decades have seen the standard western fork made with progressively rounder and duller tines; to the extent that many will not pierce a lettuce leaf. Whatever happened to forks really having tines? Were there too many accidental stabbings from running with table forks that now they have to resemble the points of scissors made for pre-schoolers?

Oops, didn't meant to unleash one of my pet peeves. I will just go back to my ceasar salad and chopsticks. They really do work better for salads than forks these days.
