I was going through some miscellaneous silverware in my in-laws' drawers, and ran across a set of these strange-looking forks that look a bit like sporks.
Anyone know what specific food they're for?
UPDATE: the forks in the photo are quite small, only about 5 inches long, the size of a salad fork.

Assuming they are the same size as the other forms and spoons, they are most likely ice cream forks.
Other possibilities are a terrepin fork or a ramekin fork (both are more specialized, and possibly less fun, than an ice cream fork).

Based on a image search, ice cream fork appears to be correct. Shame, terrapin fork would have been somewhat exciting from a "wierd antiques" perspective. As a bonus, though, I now know that I have several Ramekin Forks in the same set; I thought they were just salad forks!
