Just finished watching the Hannibal tv series, again. And boy oh boy can Hannibal ever cook, he smokes, he burns, he smolders. In particular it’s all about Mads Mikkelsen and his talent in the kitchen. His use of cutlery for killing is kinna crazy. But his use of flatware for fine dining is what caught my eye. Here’s a list of all the dishes he makes: https://hannibal.fandom.com/wiki/Hannibal%27s_Dishes_(TV)

In season three he makes a dish and specifically calls out the Christofle Silver Plate Flatware as shown here:

It took some digging but we’ve found that set for sale here: https://www.cynthiafindlay.com/christofle-silver-plate-flatware-set.html

As seen in Hannibal season 3 this 59 piece Christofle silver plate flatware set consists of: 12 Dinner Forks, 11 Salad/Desert Forks, 12 Dinner Knives, 12 Tablespoons, 12 Fruit Knives.

And the full 3 season set for an inexpensive price can be found at Amazon here: Hannibal: The Complete Series Collection Season 1-3 [Blu-ray + Digital HD]

Well our man crush Babish has finally cashed in his popular chips for a line of cookware and cutlery. Sadly we don’t see much for cutlery or flatware other than tongs but he has knives, knives and knives. Oh and bowls and measure cups. And no tiny whisks? (oh wait, TINY WHISK SET RESTOCK COMING SOON!!!) But no carving fork yet either?

The Babish Culinary Universe really is expanding a great deal and all the power to him. His influence on making popular Jon Favreau’s carving fork from the movie “Chef” and the infamous Tiny Whisk is staggering. And let’s not forget that he is teaching people how to cook. And that’s a good thing.

This wonderful tweet was brought to our attention by our wonderful sister who no doubt was referring to our wonderful Grandmother D. The tweet itself is by Shiv Ramdas and here’s the link to the original tweet. And where it became rather infamous over on reddit.

He goes on to mention in the twitter thread: “I should point out that none of this even refers to the most dreaded recipes in there, AKA the Blue Spoon recipes, which have this name because the steps have helpful tips like “Add 2 blue spoons of sugar” because I don’t even have it in me to attempt this boss battle.”

The blue spoon is a great way of specifying exactly what cooking cutlery you need to use in the kitchen. I’m certain my Grandmother used the blue spoon regularly. Another classic piece of cooking equipment for her was the” golden syrup” can, as that was just right for cut dough for perogies. Or was that my Mother? I’m certain as soon as I post this I’ll be proven wrong.

If you are looking for your own blue spoon, here’s a nice one from Amazon:
