Handle[edit]

I have never in my life seen a grapefruit spoon with a funky handle. They are always part of a set of flatware, identical to the teaspoons but with a more acutely angular bowl and the characteristic serrated tines. Is the sistinctive handle really "generally" the case? 72.196.104.129 10:39, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not in my experaince. Can someone provide a refrence for the handle section?

I have to agree...I did a quick search and only found one citrus spoon with a non-typical handle, and that was not wooden.

Yeah this handle section is bullshit someone remove that —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.103.104.149 (talk) 22:40, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Handle, Knife[edit]

I agree with earlier comments about the handles; even if they weren't part of the full silverware set, the ones I've seen have always had ordinary handles.

Should some mention be made of grapefruit knives (a fantastic invention, I might add...no, not my invention) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.247.109.152 (talk) 20:08, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Origins of Grapefruit?[edit]

This article mentions that grapefruit spoons "were created when fruit became more readily available with the 1869 completion of the nation’s first transcontinental railroad" which they cited from the book Feeding Desire: Design and the Tools of the Table, 1500–2005.
