Depends. If it's the Spoonful of Comfort ladle I see in all the ads I get in my games, I don't want it. The one we'll be using to serve up spaghetti sauce later? I love that ladle!
(Honorable mention for the Nessie ladle sitting in the drawer, I almost want to pull it out for stuff in the vein of rubber duck debugging. But I can just pull a duck off the dash of my Jeep for that.)
So, when you think "fondant potatoes" - they ale small, perfectly rounded and caramelized on the outside.
So if you'd try to stab em with normal fork - they go into puree in seconds. If you'd try to use soup spoon - they'd run away from you.
Lo' and behold - this invention!
it has enough spiky edge to give some friction but not so much to break caramelized outside, but also is shallow and rounded enough to hold a ball made of carbs and calories when you move it to your plate.
My granny was kinda crazy about cutlery and "the proper way" to use it. I had this knowledge bashed into my head before I know how to tie a shoelace.
Honestly I am super interested to hear more about niche or interesting utensils in your writing style, that was fun to read. So, if you ever feel the urge to reminisce on things your granny taught you… 🙈
I'm a little unsettled by the amount of people who genuinely think these are supposed to be used to put things in your mouth. I know next to nothing about utensils, I despise the "rules" of fine dining, and even I know you'd look like a complete lunatic if you tried to eat with a serving utensil.
Is it like... nobody cares to notice what the "servants" use to put things on their place (i.e. mom), or is this a "kids these days" scenario?
A fish knife would be much smaller, in proportion to the cutlery set being used for dining. This particular knife is most definitely a serving tool. It may be for serving fish, but the distinction between service and cutlery is what they've focused on.
I don’t know if you eat with it but first I can taste the metallic and dust and then I think I would be interested in how the design feels on the tongue.
Anyway, the knife reminds me of a mini glaive, I think I'd find it quite fun to use. Probably not the fork though, the tines look far too wide. But still, this is just by looking at them in a picture, I'd need to actually hold them myself to know how they felt in my hands (and to use) before I could say anything for certain.
Yessss! That’s so true. I was originally seeing the knife as like a greatsword or one part of a dual blade but it works so much better as a switch axe with the fork!
There were no forks IN medieval times, so there are no forks AT Medieval Times...wait...OK, I guess there were forks in medieval times, still none at Medieval Times. Would you like a refill on your Pepsi?
Good looking, sexy looking even. But I don't think I will ever encounter anything that they would need to actually be used on/with. They look like something I'd put up in the kitchen in a frame as decor, not something I'd actually use.
as a piece of art they're beautiful. As serving utensils I feel they'd be a bit impractical for daily use but fine for special occasions. As eating utensils they'd be completely impractical and horrendous to use
Am i the only one that doesn't care about the shape of my forks and spoons? I see so many photos online about it and it confuses me... Is that a austim trait????
I like them...... Just about the size for my big old bear paws....🤣
Seriously tho, I have big hands, I like big things..... I like bigger, heavier utensils. & the more unique it is the more I like it...
