Utensils for a Gentleman
Despite powerful impulses to the contrary, a gentleman takes a hands-off approach to chow (although exceptions can be made for the usual hand-held suspects, less we seem supercilious). However, it has always boggled Gent Stuffs sensibilities why, if we are forced to abstain from eating our rib-eye by hand in the name of restraint, we are instead given a colossal, quadruple-pronged spear to fork-lift (literally) gobs of our dinner down the hatch. For starters, our juicy brats or steaks can hardly benefit from the multiple, fork-inflicted puncture wounds, allowing hard-won marinades and other essential flavors to leak out. Also of course, it seems obvious that four prongs is simply too many prongs, unless you're trying to engulf your plate's contents before Biggest Loser starts on the tube. If, as g-men so ascribe, simplicity and self-control are hallmarks of honorable living, isn't two prongs enough? More than enough, isn't it perfect? At Gent Stuff, we think so.
