clearly, you have not mastered the fork to scoop things that are not naturally watery. else, you'd not be asking such a question ;I
i hate sporks tbh. it's not forky enough, too spoony. i am the type who will only use spoons for cereal or broth-soups... and considering i don't often eat either...
forks are by far superior. the tongs aren't far enough apart to let most things fall between them (stop eating non-sticky rice, lmao) and the flatness of the tines allows for your utensil to get underneath what you're trying to scoop. spoons, however, are far more rounded, meaning you have to turn them to achieve the same effect. the proper way to eat with a spoon even goes against the curve of the roof of your mouth, and the pressure between mouth roof and contents on a spoon, adding to the lack of pressure release given to tines but not a flat spoon bottom, means you'll end up turning the spoon over in your mouth to get all the contents off. forks don't require this, however, thus forks don't add to the whole utensils-scraping-teeth sound so many people find displeasing. further, because tines have gaps, the tongue helps pull food off from below through them... reducing the need to scrape fork to teeth even more. however, turning a spoon upside down in one's mouth causes the top teeth, which usually hang over bottom teeth quite some distance, to come very close to scraping what should be the bottom of the utensil on the way out.
so
there
that's why sporks don't reign superior, because, clearly, forks are superior and spoons (and sporks) need only exist for things that don't cause the contents on the spoon (or spork) to become pressure-sealed without the assistance of teeth or tongue. in other words: spoons are only good for watery things, forks are just fine for everything else and sporks don't fix the issue enough when most things a spoon would require get no use out of a spork's tines made for baby-sized foods.
