I've been vegetarian for almost 30 years, so I rarely eat anything that couldn't be cut and eaten with a spoon. I realized I was grabbing spoons more often than forks, so I was pretty happy when sporks became popular a few years ago. I collected a bunch of them and tried them out.
What I figured out was that a long, folding utensil was important for me, because I wanted it to fold short enough to store it in my cook kit, but long enough to reach down into dehydrated meal bags. I could probably go with a folding long spoon and not miss the tines, but they're nice once in awhile. The bowl on my current favorite is more bowl- than tine-centric which works out for my usage. It's subtle, but that's the one I keep reaching for, for now. I'll probably keep collecting...
