Spoons and forks

[Paul]

Did you know that the correct term for spoons and forks is actually 'flatware' and should never be referred to as cutlery?


(Cutlery is for cutting things and using a spoon to cut things doesn't make it cutlery)

[Smartie.uk]

well ididnt know that.. but i do now.. thankyou for bestowing your wisdom on me.. i feel enlightened.

[showmet]

And a combination of the two, the runcible spoon is my favourite piece of flatware. God I love those things...

[Paul]

YES A RUNCIBLE SPOON!!

I really must get one :)

[Carlos]

did u wake one day and come to realise that saying a spoon is cuttelry is wrong or did someone correct you while u where blissfully ignorantly calling a spoon cuttlery


im just interested in how you came across this information unless your part of some sort of spoon reserch team like cancer reserch but less life dependent.

[Paul]

I'm not saying

If I tell you I will have to kill you :p

[JOsie]

i would just like to point out that there is no such thing as runcible flatware...they are called sporks...

[butterfly]

So what do you collectively call knives, forks and spoons, or is there no collective term and should one refer to them as both cutlery and flatware??

[Smartie.uk]

i think its called flatlery... well if it wasn't it is now..."here hun get the flatlery out of the draw will you" ... see works just fine.

[Alomiakoda]

Tableware?

[Smartie.uk]

NO!!!!... flatlery!!!!

[Alomiakoda]

[Smartie.uk]

:p

[Alomiakoda]

good.. next time.. it'll be a spanking

:p
Is that a promise? :p

[Smartie.uk]

yup

[DaisaeFaerie]

aha so you know about sporks and flatery and runcible spoons...but has anyone got a spnife? wouldn't that be a mixture of cutlery and flatery...therefore flutery? or clatery?

love daisyness xxx

[DaisaeFaerie]

i agree with meng. forks are the height of sophistication. :)

[Paul]

Not quite as highly sophisticated as resisting the temptation to play with chopsticks before you eat your Chinese meal

[Smartie.uk]

but surely chopsticks were made to be played with.. thats why chinese women wear them in their hair and evry1 else puts them in their ears or up their nose.

[Alomiakoda]

I bet you always play with your chopstick eh Paul? :p
