    My mum uses the small knives and forks. It’s like trying to eat your meal with a kiddie set.

      I’m a big fan of long handled teaspoons.

        They’re called sundae spoons! I love them too.

          I’ve known them as sorbet spoons. I use them for heaps of things though.

            I’ve known them as parfait spoons. Since long before I knew what parfait was.

            I have a full set of eight long-handled teaspoons which are very well used, and also use lots of standard teaspoons, I’ve got a couple of cutlery sets worth in the drawer and don’t plan to part with any of them.

            Oh yeah they’ve got a lot of different names.

            My favourite hack for them is to cut the top off the Kewpie mayo bottle and scoop the dregs out.

      My mother probably should have gone that route, seeing she moved to using small plates instead of proper dinner plates. It drives me batty. You don’t need to fill the entire plate with food, but having a larger plate gives you room to do things like cut your meat without accidentally knocking it off the side.
