I live in the Detroit Metro area and we have a lot of Brits who work for the automotive industry. The other day I was in a restaurant having breakfast and as a table of Brits near me were getting their food, I heard one Brit say, "There's so much food here mates, it gonna take me a fork-knife to eat it all."

So much question is: What's a fork-knife? Is that what Brits call a spork or is it something different?

what he probably said was "Pferk-Kneit." It's a mid-priced brand of flatware made in Norway that's popular in London because it can withstand the caustic washing powders used in British dishwashers.

Maybe he said "a fortnight"? As in, "There's so much food here, it's gonna take me 14 days to eat it."
