I previously mentioned how my quarantine meals are delivered with Biopak flatware (cutlery for the rest of the world) comprising a knife, fork and a spoon. This morning the spoon that was delivered with my breakfast was semi shattered but i used it nonetheless. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I have noticed with these things is that the spoon and fork do have a little bit of a rough texture. It is like they’re made from the kind of wood that is used to make plywood, pressure and steam formed, branded with the logo and then die cut. I assume that’s the order in which it is done. I will have to check, either way it is pretty neat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reality though is that I have become very casual american diner-esque and sparing with my use of flatware and really don’t need all three implements. In fact you could argue that a broad bladed knife, medieval style would probably suffice except that i don’t think i could put my tongue on the blade. Too many years of yelling at me by my parents for licking the flat side of the butter knife at the risk of slashing my tongue has put me off doing that and seeing others do it positively makes me cringe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knife licking is up there with drinking from the bowl, which in my book is really only acceptable in the rarest of circumstances, along with holding a coffee or tea cup by anything more than the ear with the most gentile of elevated pinkie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
