Catharine, better than hospital pill cups I have sub-miniature metal bowls (silver in color) which came with small paint brushes, for spreading melted butter on the corn cobs. They would do double duty for dunking fries, no question. My hubby also would not use the ice cream forks. I suspect that the bowls are not big enough for a man's macho bite. He does have one male cousin, however, who was to the manner born, and who would certainly utilize an ice cream fork if it were put at his dinner place. I saw him discretely walking around all three tables at Thanksgiving before the dinner was served, and reversing the direction of each and every knife so the cutting edge would face the plate......
