Royal 20-Piece Flatware Set – Great for a gift

Royal 20-Piece Flatware SetThis set of flatware for four by Royal is considered to be of restaurant and hotel quality. What does that mean? Well I guess it depends on the restaurant or hotel. Either way it seems to be a nice set.

Consisting of four dinner forks, four teaspoons, four knives, four salad forks and four tablespoons and made of mirror polished 18/10 stainless steel. Each utensil is individually wrapped in wax paper and sealed in plastic bags and packaged in gift box.  So it makes for a nice wedding gift me thinks.

Spoon Art – Motorcycle by James Rice

spoon motorcycleOK, time for a fun Friday before a long weekend post. Someone sent me this photo of amazing piece of cultural cutlery art. An amazing artist spent a lot of time bending these spoons into an detailed motorcycle artwork piece. Anyone know who did this? I’d really love to give them credit for this flatware find. Let us know in the comments.

Update from reader Jeny:

I know who made the spoon motorcycle! My husband, James Rice, makes them. This is #5 of 7 that he’s finished so far. I made a Facebook page, Everlasting Spoonful, where I share about him, and his work. This month, that sculpture, called “The Wasp” is on display at the Washington State Fair, in the Fine Art Show! He also has another, which took 4th place in sculpture called “The Bagger”. Very cool that you were shown his work, and I hope you find us on Facebook! Thank you so much for sharing! Jeny

Fred and Friends MIX STIX Drumstick Spoons

Fred and Friends MIX STIX Drumstick SpoonsI played drums in High School and the first thing I noticed about these interesting pieces of musical cutlery is that you would be holding these drumsticks on the wrong end, not a bad thing, just strange. But it you have a drummer who is also a cook then this drumstick spoon set is the perfect gift. The musical note in the slotted spoon is pretty cool and very handy.

Consisting of a regular spoon and a slotted spoon that are made of solid beechwood and 13 inches long. I would recommend that you treat them with a food grade oil like walnut oil before using and then they will hold up in the dishwasher a lot better.

It’s called the “Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon” when you start noticing something everywhere. Like for instance you write a blog about cutlery and you really like the design of spoons. Then suddenly every single day you start seeing spoons everywhere. It’s a fatal flatware affliction.
