Once upon a time during the holiday season, an innocent blog author had a nasty run-in with a container of plain-flavored skyr. A weeklong coma and lots of chest hair later, he returned to the world completely unchanged and prepared to post again.
Thus, as a crappy consolation prize for remaining loyal followers in my absence, I present you with a very vague and all-encompassing topic! (Hurray!)(Metal band kicks into SPOONAGE OR DEATH theme)
Grand soliloquies aside, I present you with the following symposium of spoonery:
Friends, Americans, Spoonwielders, Lend me your plates!
Due to the fact that just about anything can be thrown into some cockamamie crust or another, I have made the executive decision to delicately separate (with spoon not scalpel) this broad topic into two distinct posts. One savory. One sweet. BOTH SPOONTASTIC!
To start with the main course and work our way to dessert, hairs will be split (again, with a razor sharp spoon) into two more categories: Pie fillings with eggs in them and pie fillings without eggs in them.
Pie Fillings With Eggs in Them:
Quiche. Yes, its French, but its about as in-your-face as the French can get while still being deliciously delightful (snails take it too far). In fact, what better way to use a spoon than to delicately divide a bite-sized bit of piping hot quiche with the perfect proportion of crust:filling and deliver it unto your watering mouth all in one fell swoop of efficacy? Thought so. In fact, the reason the French resistance began to operate during the Second World War was that Nazi officials in Paris demanded to be served quiche with a fork and knife. And sausage with sauerkraut. Even the French would not stand for that.
Pie Fillings With No Eggs in Them:
Things that are not quiche: Shepard's pie. Pot Pie. Tamale Pie. So many eggless fillings. So little time. And but one utensil with which to properly consume them. Outrageous? I think not. More like utterly utilitarian. (Many spoonfuls of kudos to the first person who can copy and paste the wiki of who that many is in the comments of this blog)
SO, IN SPOONCLUSION: Maximum Cuiller Sans Cesse y Vive La Quiche!
