Can I Have a Spoon?

The spoon is an amazing eating instrument. You can eat everything, EVERYTHING with a spoon. You don't need anything else. You don't need a knife and you especially don't need a fork. People say to me all the time "you can't eat that with a spoon" but they are wrong. You can eat everything with a spoon. You can't eat everything with a fork. There are things you can eat with a spoon that you can't eat with a fork, but there aren't things you can eat with a fork that you can't eat with a spoon. I issue a challenge: I defy you to find something you can eat with a fork that you can't eat with a spoon. If you think you know something, post a comment.

A tough steak?

I've done it.

Becca said...

Was it a sharpened spoon? ;)

Eric Miller said...

Nope, just a regular ol' spoon.

Lettuce, I'll give you, isn't impossible, but it isn't easy, either.

Eric Miller said...

Yeah lettuce is "harder" but still it isn't too bad at all.

Becca said...

So if there are things that are hard to eat with a spoon, why not just have a fork and knife handy?

Eric Miller said...

When I say "harder" that is harder than say, eating soup with a spoon. It is by no means difficult.

As for why not have a fork and knife handy...Why when a spoon can do it all?
