Your blog is fantastic, it's just what I've been searching for! I've looked at every photo and read every description. I've been trying to identify the purpose of the silver utensil shown in my avatar, but haven't found anything similar in your posts. Can you help me? It's shaped like a large food pusher with a cutout rectangle in the "blade" and seven short tines with a quarter twist off the back of the opening. Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer, and keep up the great work! :)
ReplyDeleteUpdate: I kept searching online, and finally discovered that the mystery utensil shown in my avatar is a corn scorer and scraper, used for splitting the corn kernels and then scraping the resulting pulp from the cob!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words about my blog. I am glad you were able to solve your mystery. I could not get a big enough picture of your avatar but the corn pieces are an odd bunch. There is the corn butterer, the corn scraper, and the ever elusive corn fork.
