The head the prongs or tines comprising first and second arrays. At least one prong of the second array is arranged on each side of the prongs of the first array. The prongs of the first array are joined by a web such that the length of the prongs of the first array is less than length of the prongs of the second array. The radius of the tips of the prongs of the first array is less than the radius of the tips of the prongs of the second array in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the head. In use, the fork helps reduce the speed at which food is consumed, thereby helping reduce the amount of food eaten and enhancing the pleasure of eating. |
