No, the ones I have are used at the table to retrieve pickles from a
dish...they are usually about the size of a seafood fork...and the ones I
have have three tines.

Sounds like there is a similar function here. I've never heard of a
"pickle" fork though. I've never heard of these before, though. Are
they used at the table? Or are they extra long for plucking pickles
(cucumbers) or other pickled items out of the big jars of pickled things?
