Does anyone else have a favourite teaspoon?

I have a favourite teaspoon, too! It's the only one of its kind in our cutlery drawer, and its tip is slightly oval. I'm not obsessive about it, but I do like to use it.

Yes.

What treatment would you suggest, flower?

Just realised that sounds silly, doesn't it? All teaspoons have oval tips! I meant slightly less oval than usual....

Bags Yes to the favourite teaspoon - not to you needing treatment.

No silliness allowed on this thread! Tut, tut!

Teaspoons plural.... I prefer to use the plain ones (square ended handle) rather than the flowery ones! AND I stir my tea 7 times!!!! Heeeeeeeeelp!

I count to seven when I'm pouring the milk for my coffee. No hope for us, ogm!

Why seven, I wonder?

Good Lord! I too have a fav; it was silver (I think) and came in a set when I was christened about 100 years ago. Now, it looks very ancient probably because I used it to stir vinaigrette and left it in it - now used to hook out teabags (yes, I now use tea bags instead of the proper stuff )

No hope at all Bags.... I do a lot of counting: peeling pots, slicing carrots etc etc!

My Mum had a "little sharp knife" - always referred to by its full name and one which perfectly described it. It was the very sharp broken half blade (+its full handle) of an old tea knife and used for peeling everything. We were all lost when it went missing never to be found again and I have never found a knife as good since!

Yes - I have a long handled favourite teaspoon that reaches the bottom of the coffee jar!!

Mum used to have a veggie knife she called her 'jimpy-edged knife. It was much easier to use than any other knife.

Gaga my mum had one of those too! She had no truck with special knives for this and that. She had one knife that doubled as a bread knife and a carving knife and one old table knife which was for peeling, chopping et al. It had been sharpened so many times the blade was about three quarters of its original width, but it did the job for her!
My friend once left a teaspoon that she used to feed her baby with at our house after a visit. She got very wound up about not having it and kept reminding me to please make sure it didn't go astray before we saw them again (we only saw each other about four times a year!). In the end, I posted it to her!

I feel left out. All my teaspoons are the same. I do have a favourite coffee mug, though. It's got my name on it.

I've got a mug that says Supergran on it! Only half of that is true - I am a gran!

My my, what an obsessive lot you appear to be! There's only one place for you.
The GN forum! Here you can receive the treatment you need for anything!
It's not NICE! But it's free and not governed by post codes!

I'm feeling a bit odd..I do not have a favourite piece of cutlery or mug

Oh dear!
I want you to really think hard about this

Do you really belong on GN in your present state?

Do you need free private treatment for your condition?

I think it might be an inheritable thing, ej. DD1 once sent me an email a propos of nothing saying that two of her favourite things in the world were a wooden Noerwegian cup I had given her and a china mug that was also a gift from me. Then she said I was never to throw out my old kitchen knife which I'd had when she was little. It was just an old table knife that I'd sharpened and sharpened. I still have it so I won't be in trouble. Phew. It's the best thing for slicing mushrooms.

She's also told me never to get rid of the scarf/shawl I used to wear when she was still in her pram. It has a silver thread running through it.

I think she must have inherited the dominant teaspoon genes from both her dad and me !

I am not much of a ' favourite thing 'person . When we cleared the family home my younger brother could not throw anything away that he thought mum & dad especially liked! Mum collected some hideous china & was a tupperware queen and he stored loads it for ages in his garage..might still be there for all I know! My youngest brother and I are different. We chose a few items that we liked and held a memory for us! At last a cutlery link...I took the little bone handled bread & butter knives and use them every day..forgot about those..feeling i belong again

Oh, I love my bone-handled butter knives!

I am going out of the kitchen and into the bedroom [blush} with this topic don't worry not a lot goes on there . I have to have my own pillows I can not sleep if" him in doors" has my pillows and I have his. I have been known in the middle of the night to swap pillows over !!
Sorry I have strayed away from spoons
