Dining accessory first named by Edward Lear (8,5)
I believe the answer is:
runcible spoon
(Other definitions for runcible spoon that I've seen before include "Curved fork with three prongs" , "Newlyweds' odd utensil" , "Lear's implement" , "Edward Lear's fork" , "tool for dealing with 1 [QUINCE]" .)
