Okay, so after a blogging hiatus perhaps this is not the most riveting thing to blog about- but I simply HAD to. Now, there are some things that plenty of people are certainly tuned into and celebrate- like the amazing and fabulous invention of the spork. I've always known that sporks exist, but I've never seen something that completely leaves out the spoon and goes strictly for the knife/ fork combination- thus producing the knork. 
Today as I traversed through the streets of Lausanne- I stopped quickly to curb my hunger with a ham and cheese crepe at a stand in the middle of our main square. Lo and behold- there I encountered the knork.
If you look closely, you can see the serrated edge of the plastic knork. I actually have no idea if this is what they are called, but I really like the sound of the work "knork". Based on my research (which consisted of barely skimming some random websites about "sporks") it seems that all objects of this sort are referred to as sporks, but I don't see any "sp" here at all. I would argue for the new name of knork to take the world by storm, boldly pronouncing the initial "K", and claiming glory among communities of average utensils. Plus, they're pretty sweet for eating crepes with.
Keep an eye out for more "serious" updates on my time in Lausanne soon...
This looks really useful. I don't suppose you recall the name and address of the shop that gave you this do you??
Take care
Doc
