A spiral tine fork is disclosed. The spiral tine fork has a plurality of tines disposed in a spaced apart relation along a distal end of a fork. The plurality of tines includes a plurality of spiral shaped tines in which the tine is twisted about a longitudinal axis of the tine. The tine may be twisted for a plurality of revolutions to define a recess dimensioned to receive a noodle strand. The recesses facilitate retention of the noodle strand on the fork. The spiral tine fork of the present invention can reduce the incidence of soiling clothing or a dining area by retaining the noodles on the spiral tine fork, with or without rotation of the fork.
