As I sat on the very end of a bench in the Cheyenne Depot Plaza, trying without success to cut off a piece of pancake with a plastic fork, I found myself thinking of a 12th Doctor (Doctor Who) episode called “Robots of Sherwood”. In one scene, Robin Hood challenges the Doctor to a duel. “Draw your sword and prove your words.”
The Doctor responds, contemptuously, “I have no sword. I don’t need a sword. Because I am the Doctor, and this is my…spoon!” And he produces a very large spoon from an inner pocket, and successfully defeats Robin Hood.
Some people might think, “Why does the Doctor carry a big ol’ spoon with him – presumably at all times?”
Well, it makes perfect sense.
If you’re a traveler, a spoon is a universal tool. Even if it’s a plastic spoon, I would think it would be a better tool to cut a recalcitrant pancake, because the edge would be sturdier and sharper than that of the lower tine of a fork.
You can also use it to eat soup with, which you can’t do with a fork.
And if it’s big enough, you can take on someone with a sword, too. Assuming you know how to fence.

Today, July 28, 2017 was the last day of the Cheyenne Frontier Days pancake breakfasts, but they’ll be back again next year. And I urge everyone to bring their own metal fork, knife or better still, spoon, in order to eat the pancakes and ham in comfort.
I personally gave up and ended up rolling up a pancake with the ham inside and eating it like a tortilla with my fingers.
Three pancakes, one slice of butter, and delicious syrup, plus a plastic fork that didn’t really do the job…
The Cheyenne Frontier Days pancake breakfasts run from 7 to 9 am. (You can get in line at 9 a.m. precisely, but not after that). There’s a long line snaking up and down 15th Street, but it moves very fast because when you get to the Cheyenne Depot where the benches are, not to mention the pancakes, you separate into four lines and everything is given to you in assembly line fashion – fork, plate, napkin, 3 pancakes, ham, and then you have your choice of water, milk or coffee.
But no other utensils are provided. So, to repeat, for this or for probably any other pancake breakfast anywhere, it makes sense to bring metal silverware with you. At the very least, a spoon.
Entertainment for the Cheyenne Frontier Days Pancake Breakfast
If you get there early enough so you can get a good seat near the stage, you’ll have a front row view of musicians, Native American dancers, and so on. But even if you can’t see them, you can still hear and enjoy them if you’re at the back of the plaza.
