The Pickle Fork Confusion

This, my friends, is what you might find if you go looking for a Pickle Fork. This is NOT cutlery. This is a Pickle Fork Ball Joint Separator – Tempered Drop Forged Steel Construction – 15/16-Inch Tapered Fork with Non-Slip Knurled Handle which is used to taking apart the pieces of a motor vehicle. NO! DO NOT BUY THIS FOR PICKLES. It’s the wrong flatware.

FridgeFork Condiment Fork — This is also a Pickle Fork

This is something else you might find when you going looking on the internets for a Pickle Fork. This is indeed a Pickle Fork. The piece of fine flatware is the the Pickle Fork you were looking for. This is the working food man’s cutlery. This is the FridgeFork Condiment Fork!

This is a stainless steel 3-prong fork that straps to your jar of pickles, olives, peppers or whatever. No more getting your fingers wet and stinky. The flexible silicone bands (small & large provided ) fit around the rim of nearly any jar with with a fork holder with build in drip tray. It’s top-rack dishwasher safe cause who wants to hang out with the bottom-rack guys anyway?

A Gallery Owner Was Arrested After Leaving a 10-Foot Heroin Spoon Sculpture Outside OxyContin Maker Purdue Pharma

Mr. Alvarez, Mr. Esposito and a few friends towed the spoon to the Purdue building around 8 a.m. on Friday in a trailer emblazoned with an image of a skull. The police arrived before long and over the next two hours officers negotiated with Mr. Alvarez, telling him “your giant spoon” has to go. Finally a commander issued Mr. Alvarez a ticket for “obstructing free passage.” When he declined after that to remove the sculpture Mr. Alvarez was placed under arrest on a charge of “interfering with police,” the commander said. He was detained briefly before being released.

Wooden Tasting Spoon

In our search for double ended spoons we came across this wooden tasting spoon. There is something about using wooden cutlery that just seems “right”. Flatware that is wooden feels better on the teeth, lips and tongue. And for tasting were it could be hot food, wood is better than hot metal.

This double ended wooden tasting spoon by Louisiana Roux Spoon seems to be just the thing: “Chefs of the South use this tool for tasting their seasoning adjustments while creating their cuisines. The Louisiana Tasting Spoon is 11 inches long and made of Southern Pine. To Use simply dip the larger spoon well into your sauce or broth tilting it ever so slightly, the hot liquid flows down the center channel cooling gathering into the smaller well making for the perfect taste.”

This whole tilting down the center channel idea is new to us and something we really want to try!

The $100 Brass Tasting Spoon

This is a Christmas gift idea for that cutlery freak that you live with (we don’t know anyone like that). This is the finest of forged flatware. A very simple but elegant Brass Tasting Spoon. It doesn’t hold much, only a teaspoon’s worth. It’s long at 8.25 inches and the spoon bowl circumference is 1.5 inches. It’s a tasting spoon so I guess it doesn’t need to hold much. But usually you have a whole container load of tasting spoons to use when cooking. I guess you could just use, rinse and repeat?

With shipping it’s over $100 but hey it arrives in a flannel protective bag! It’s custom ordered hand hammered just for you. It’s a one-of-a-kind gift! Reminds us of the nice pickle spoons (more on that later) they have in Japan.

All kidding aside, this is a nice looking spoon and would make a great gift.
