Sprong, fork or grape?

Galway

Hay fork - 2 prongs

Everything else is a fork

Never heard of a grape until some lad was on here talking about stobbing the bull with the "grape". I had images of him charging the bull on horseback with a lance.

Its a sprong here in S wicklow.

Sent a fellah from Sligo to get the sprong for me,he hadn't a clue what it was and calls it a grape.
First I heard of that.

2 prong is a pitch fork. 3 prong is a fork and 4 prong is a grape around here.

I'm from Kerry. They were always called wines. My father is from Galway and said that he'd never heard it before he moved down either.

Simply known as a 4 prong fork here (dung fork) or a 2 prong fork / pike for the hay fork. In Limerick.

A two prong was always known as a fork around here and a four prong as a grape. A friend of mine worked for a farmer in Meath that used to refer to "the two prong sprong" and "the four prong sprong"

Sprong, fork or grape?
