In the Owl and the Pussy cat poem by Edward Lear, the couple set to sea in a pea green boat and then eat with a runcible spoon. In the picture below is a small mustard spoon which set me off thinking of spoons. I had to google to find out what a runcible spoon was.
A three-pronged fork, such as a pickle fork, curved like a spoon and having a cutting edge.
Val says Malc is quite incensed about my googled description of the spoon. It is a well known fact that the runcible spoon was made up by Lear for the poem. You pays your money and you takes your choice, Malc !
