as it was written for the LTU market, no word limit - their sentence structure being as it is!

I’ve recently taken delivery of a small batch of rare spoons from the ill fated STR factory, the early 00’s stirgaris in a rare finish from the Petrov Steeler era when they were focusing on outlandishness and value in a bid to offer the stirrer something both more hardcore and siffeeent to the norm.

Quite a stirring experience! Raw, loud, weighty and yet so much fun to use. You can keep your German rubbish I’m going full British from now on.

I’ll still be stirring when your Blackpool beast stops working with my German daily stirrer.

I shall have no such thing said about this stirrer, no inherent internal weakness hidden away by marketing values.
This spoon has already had it’s much needed re-dishing so it’s sorted and indeed under warranty for a good few years yet.

Just a phone and my head sans hair, it’s not my penis. And I hadn’t even noticed that until now hehe

If only I could create a reflection that big with anything else

10. How many teaspoons were used by this magazine to recreate the Iron Throne in our "Make It at Home with old Spoons" feature?
a) 25
b) 20
c) 30
d) 52
c?
I’d agree with the rest of your answers but surely it is known now that two of the “teaspoons” were actually sugar spoons and, therefore, none of these answers is right.

Apologies if this seems like pedantry ... but it strikes me as important.

I’d written a tiebreaker but I realise I’d misread the OP and it’s in Latvian curse

If anyone is bothered it was the rather simple/obvious :

Is it obvious though? Is it? Hand on heart?

No, I thought not.

Can I suggest it’s so obvious that it’s not obvious?

I know there are a lot of drawer queens amongst our spoons (my ’73 Courtaine included) but sometimes just stirring is what it’s all about ...

At the risk of sacrilege, I’m considering investing in an e-spoon. Appreciate they lack the heft and swirl of a traditional implement, but for everyday use they do look very convenient. Plus my 1971 Granular Redoubt is becoming quite valuable now and I thought I might just keep it in a drawer and bring it out at weekends. Love to hear how anyone else is finding life with the electronic variety.

It’s always a pleasure when a gentleman as learned in spooning as yourself compliments a spoon such as this. Nothing flash but none the less it delivers when it needs to.

I just got back from the China Teaspoon Expo. While browsing the various different stalls i found one that was ' technical innovations'.

Apparently Graphene is going to be the must have materiel used in the construction of the high end spoons. They were only selling spoons in natural Graphene which is transparent ,but i couldn't resist buying one , a future classic?

No, that was a rumour that was started when someone made the mistake of translating badly. There were two sugar spoons used in the Game of Thrones diorama we made to represent a couple of "Traitors" having their "heads" chopped off - we thought it would be an amusing nod to our brethren in the sugar spoon world. but of course, the online trolls just go and run with the wrong end of the stick and it gets shared over and over...

The Game of Thrones reference reminds me that Kit Harington is a keen Spoonist. Him being a scion of the Derby Haringtons.

True.
