A dining fork is disclosed herein having an elongated hollow sleeve open at one end to insertably receive a shaft having a fork end. A spring element forcibly urges the shaft out of the sleeve and a spiral mechanism twists the shaft and fork end as the shaft exits the sleeve. The mechanism includes a ratchet, ball and socket or other devices for retaining the shaft in the sleeve during an eating procedure when food is captured on the fork end.
