People are sharing stories of the odd bits of cutlery in their drawer – 23 favourites

We’ve one knife, the Bogey Knife, very different from all the others, and it’s the last one in the drawer that gets used. No one in the family wants the Bogey Knife at dinner time, preferring to wash a knife rather than take this odd, clean one.
No one has a clue where it’s from.

I have an odd teaspoon which is very similar to but slightly lighter than the rest. I have no idea where it came from. I cannot abide it and actively avoid it, but for some reason I don’t throw it out either.

I have two butter knives “borrowed” from the nurses’ home at Nether Edge hospital in Sheffield when I lived there 31 years ago. They are my go to spreaders, just work the butter really well. God that looks weird written down

We have a shitty teaspoon and I swear I’ve thrown it away about 10 times and still — there it sits. In the drawer. Mocking me.

I have a grapefruit spoon that I stole from a hotel in 1985 – it was the first time I’d been in a hotel, and I was overwhelmed by the incredible glamour and sophistication of a grapefruit-specific spoon. Never used it.

I have this bigger than average teaspoon, no idea where it came from but its my favourite as it fits yogurt just right pic.twitter.com/YuzQ5hXkdk

These things. We’ve had them over fifteen years, they’ve moved three times with us, they match nothing except for each other. I have no idea where they came from.
I am definitely going to drop them off now, it’s a marvellous idea. pic.twitter.com/jHm0uxWXSc

Superb thread! This came from my Grampa’s house. It must never be used for anything except testing cakes and brownies, or whomsoever is responsible for it not being clean and in the drawer shall be denied a share of the aforementioned sweet treats. pic.twitter.com/sUPuoj455U

That would be a fun way to refer to somebody who is eccentric; “He’s an odd bit of cutlery.”

Our cat has a magnet on his collar – he has brought many things in with him – including this spoon. pic.twitter.com/SYqqxQ1cKE

Last word to @MooseAllain.

Lockdown is probably a good time to sit down with your partner, go through that cutlery drawer, and eject any interlopers.
