There is hope young traveler. At age 42, I replaced all the funky mismatched 'silverware' with 2 new sets of matchy-matchy black stainless. Life is good now and that wierd fork will never darken my drawer again.
I will not miss you funky forks and spoons, but you are forgiven.
Yeah I have one thats been in the family for 60 years. Plain old chromed stainless so no value but sentimental. Fortunately its in a part of the drawer I don't access often
My wife's parents died 5 years ago, and she took a lot of stuff from the house. She even took the silverware and mixed it in with ours. I can't tell her, but I absolutely hate them and will avoid at all cost.
I just use my hands for everything. So much easier, and if you don't wash up after, you have extra nutrients for the next meal!
So important in this economy.
Yeah matching set for life. They don’t make it any more but I am still able to buy replacements from Replacements ltd.
My rule when picking this set was the spoons have to be strong enough to scoop ice cream without bending.
I have one that somehow got bent and now doesn't stack nicely with all its clones. I don't feel like bending it back because of metal fatigue issues.
I mean if it only got bent once and you bend it back metal fatigue won't really play that big of a role
I even don't know how there's that fucking heavy and thicker fork between my forks
The heavy, thick utensils are my favorites.
But, really, since the kid moved out, and I'm alone now, I only use the utensils I need, and I use the same ones every day, washing as I go. Fork, spoon, sharp knife for cooking, small bowl-plate, large bowl-plate, coffee mug, big insulated cup for cold drinks, and a pair of clicky tongs.
My gf just got some copper forks. I think I'll have to move out
I don't see that you've got any alternative
i mean the shape is just wrong
i mean it is perfectly functional, easy to use, etc. but ... wrong
.. and 2 knives i hate.
I don't like unmatching cutlery. Every fork needs to be the same style and bent at the same angle so they can "spoon" neatly in the drawer. (Yes, incorrect the bend when I see one who deviates) What kind of monster do you think I am.
In fact, that's why my wife and I live in different apartments. Her drawer loons like the thrift shop cutlery box. 😱
Edit: I'm just reading that people consider forks "bad" when the times are unaligned. It's quite easy to align them. I check them after each wash. Using a knife to slightly bend them in place does the trick.
I always wonder what happened to forks in other houses where they are all bent. Do people chew on them?
