I love forks but we use a lot of spoons, so we're always running out of them! If we bought more, we'd probably just use more and run out of them anyway... so for now, we just do the dishes every day!
What do you run out of more often: forks or spoons?

Spoons! So funny, DH was literally just commenting on it and saying we should buy more!

@autumnlove: What do you guys use the butter knives for?
I think we only have 2-3 butter knives... but I can never think of a use for them! Other than to spread butter...

Forks! We had around 20 people over last weekend and ran short on forks. Ugh.

We don't usually run out of either because we have quite a few of both and I do the dishes every day. We run out of baby spoons a lot though because be doesn't really use baby forks and for some reason the spoons are always disappearing!

Always spoons. I thought about buying more spoons but they only come in a place setting.

Neither, we have tons from DH's bachelor days plus the nicer ones we bought as a couple. We have 2 drawers full.

Spoons. Basically all of our meals are spoon-friendly. A habit I got in in South America. People never eat with forks, always spoons!!

Spoons! And because we use more of them, more of them subsequently get mangled by the disposal, resulting I even less of them. My DH was so confused about why there were so few that he started speculating that the cleaning lady was taking them. Really?

Spoons! Always using a NEW spoon for a spoonful of yogurt, cottage cheese, almond butter (animal style...straight out of the jar), etc. multiple times a day.

Usually spoons because we feed our dog twice a day and it's canned food - so, I have to use a spoon unless I want to spear her food, which I don't.

Forks! I scramble eggs every morning, and I don't rewash the fork to eat, so I use two forks every morning just myself. We go through all our forks in two days. We can go weeks without using all the spoons.

We use more spoons (hubs is an ice cream fanatic) but we never actually run out... We have 24 of them and only two people who eat real food!

I made my SO convert to sporks and we share a single pocket knife. Sporks are perfect for kids too and we get all we need from KFC! We love it. Wash and use till they break. So I guesswe run out of knives since there is just the one on my hip.

Usually both at the same time. We use forks more often, but I use spoons a lot when I'm cooking so it evens out.

Forks! Always! When we have guests over I'll have to re-wash forks even when I bought another set of utensils for more forks. Even the little sale/dessert ones get used! It's crazy.

@daddybee: Hahahah a! Your SO must appreciate the reduced amount of dirty silverware!

Forks for sure, but even worse are butter knives. Silverware sets come with 2x the number of forks and spoons compared to knives.
