Are they all shorter than an average dinner fork?
If so, I've been digging about and I now guess that...

Left hand side fork is a sardine/fish fork.

Middle one is a caddy spoon.

Right hand side is a sugar shovel/caddy spoon.

I don't think they're a set.

Mine is the soup spoon cos of its aesthetic and tactile appeal

I hate spoons unless they are used for Soup or liquids generally. I don't like using them for things like stew. Weird don't know why they freak me out for.

Grapefruit cutter and special spoon.

I only use 3 items of cutlery - a big perforated serving spoon, a fork and a corkscrew

They are what cutlery looks like when you try to eat dinner tripping on lsd

 

[platinumsage]

A fork. I even eat soup with a fork, sifting out the big bits then and drinking the remainder from the bowl.

 

[jontz01]

Teaspoon. It cuts cheese, stirs tea and shovels food. Chopsticks for everything else.

 

[Diamond]

Spoon for me please.

Back in ye olden days, people used to have their cutlery on their person - usually just loose on a chain hung off a belt. The fun that must have been had with food thievery! The casual snatch while strolling past etc

 

[WouldBe]

Chopsticks for everything else.

Buttering toast?

 

[MickiQ]

I try not to play favourites it causes dissent in the drawer

 

[Epona]

Sounds pretty good

I seem to have a new obsession with odd cutlery and it is getting out of hand.

I think when you are using cutlery it is supposed to stay in the hand.

(Badum-Tsh, get my coat etc).

I like my kitchen knives. I keep them as sharp as possible so they cut cleanly and evenly. There’s nothing better than a well balanced, very sharp knife.

My Manchester city council spoon.

Tactical spoon when you got to absolutely positively eat, all the motherfucking food in the room

The middle one's a child's first spoon. I remember when I was little, a 'spoon and pusher' was a common gift for a baby. You don't see pushers any more - I guess children eat with their fingers more now.

I think the flat 'shovel' type spoon goes with a cake fork. But it could also be a sugar spoon, given it looks stained with tea.

Cake fork's my favourite cutlery since Biddlybee sent me an ambidextrous one, ending my lifelong quest for a left-handed one.

Pushers rarer since people started making foie gras from geese

For years most of our cutlery was stamped with “Grenada”, “Road Chef” and the like

Anyway, my favourite piece of cutlery is the Spork

Always disappointed wetherspoons didn't stamp their cutlery or the provenance of so much of mine would be obvious

I use a cheap and nasty chef's knife - never sharpened - but I only chop carrots with it once a week ...
I'm not sure I trust myself with sharp knives - though I usually manage to keep my fingers the right side of it...

My Mum used to have two slightly odd shaped pieces of pale blue plastic which were apparently my spoon and pusher in my infancy.

I only have vague recollections, but I don't think they were shaped like those.

This thread just made me wonder if I might want to come up with a safer chopping board for chopping round things and I found this -
Bloody hell !

I like using a spoon for things like lentil curries or chili con carne etc - basically stuff that doesn't need to be chopped up of stabbed at to eat. Using a fork is unnecessary and you get more on the spoon anyway.

I also like those Asian style ladle spoons they give you in Wagamama for the ramen bowls.

Also, I like chopsticks for chinese food or sushi. It just seems especially wrong to pick up a sushi roll with anything other than proper chopsticks.

Everything else, knife and fork, or spoon if its desserty. Except stuff that you can eat with your hands like a burger, or a sanwich, or a wrap or biscuits/chocolate etc.

 

[gentlegreen]

I used chopsticks for years before I settled on my stylish IKEA fork - it made eating beans on toast "interesting" - but I used to tear the bread into lumps and chucked tahini on it as usual ...
