Today I cleaned out my Mum’s cutlery drawer (yes, that’s right – a tidy cutlery drawer is a mark of civilisation. And too much time on your hands) and found out everything you need to know about what it means to be Chinese. See if you can spot:
- melon baller
- curved bi-directional grapefruit knife
- broken egg timer
- 14 sports-type bottle tops
- 3 tea strainers
- a curved cheese knife
- 14 jam jar lids
- 8 assorted Tupperware lids
- an angel shaped cookie cutter
- 2 ‘Cannies’ closures for open drinks cans
- novelty claw shaped crab hammer
- 2 cunningly resealable milk bottle tops
- a mini-whisk
- a pickled onion fork
- 1 plastic disposable fork
- a medicine dispenser cup
Unique utensils
BUT the highlight was…
- A collection of teaspoons from various world airlines (Left-Right: Thai, JAL, Qantas?, United, Continental, British Airways, Qantas. On the top: Malaysian,
Singapore Airlines)
Teaspoons from various airlines
Cultural heritage in a cutlery drawer. Fantastic.

Yo. Can I share this with a friend?

Of course – unless they work for an airline and want their cutlery back…

Hi Dan!
How about making some cookies with the angel cookie cutter for your next post … mmm cookies.
Looks like you’re enjoying life back in London
It was over 30 degrees in Kutchan today! Bit of a change from winter.
