Actually, there is a craftsman in Atlantia, Broc "the magik badger", who 
has done research on a utensil that is kind of like a spork.  It has a 
spoon on one end and a three-tined fork on the other.  He says that what 
he found is that this design dates to the 9th century in 
England...Saxon, IIRC.  As he is very persnickety about his research, I 
take him at his word.  I haven't actually seen the documentation, but 
believe that he has it.
