Pro tip: Always keep your ears clean and listen carefully. I once thought I was invited to a dinner party, but that wasn’t the deal. Ohhhhh. You said Donner party. What’s that? Oh really? Cool. I just remembered I have to to go now… Luckily I wasn’t the main course that night.

Anyway, if you want a special keepsake from the actual Donner party, you can buy this fork. It is said to be a fork used at the actual feast that night. Seems legit to me. Some guy snuck onto the actual site where the deed occurred and used a metal detector to find utensil. The glass should probably read, “Break in case of extreme hunger.”
