A new heresy

I think spoons may be better tools for making sandwiches than knives.

This depends on what you're using for ingredients!

I don't make sandwiches very often, but I've found a rubber or silicone spatula to be still more useful.

Spoons are my only sandwich-making tool. Because sandwiches are mayo vehicles.

You prefer to smush the bread rather than slice it?

To each his own, I guess.

If you mean for the dispensing of condiments and some spreads, I agree. I do this all the time because we seem to run out of clean table knives faster. Also, knives don't really work to get the last of the mustard out of a tall container -- it all ends up on the handle of the knife. Spoons will actually collect it.

For spreading peanut butter and other condiments, you have a point. For slicing a block of cheese or a chunk of meat, I don't see spoons as very useful. I am open to experimental evidence to the contrary, though.

Maybe if you sharpen the edge of the spoon. I think you'd need a lot of practice to make a straight cut through the sandwich, though.

Thus inventing the Spife!

I prefer to think of it as a knoon. For formal occasions, use a High Knoon.

Make a long-handled spoon. Sharpen some of the handle.

That would tend to make the next bowl of soup a trifle more of an adventure than I'm willing to consider.

I discovered some time ago that forks are better than knives for spreading peanut butter on celery.

They are certainly alot safer!

[drpaisley.livejournal.com]

Because it hurts more!

[redbird]

So, a spoon is the greatest thing since sliced bread?

I'll admit I certainly find it nigh-impossible to make a sandwich when I'm personally out of spoons.

An interpretation I had not considered--and food for thought.

There are no spoons.
