Do you know your knives?

[Robin Garr]

Some of us have been fooling around on Facebook with this great quiz from Mental_Floss ... how many of these knives can you name?

Would that be considered a style of mezzaluna? Even with one handle?

Looks like an Ulu knife.

Ulu has a different shaped blade, but the same handle style.

Meh.

Funny thing I found over the years. Staff members from seperate domestic culinary educations all seem to have different names for just about every item in the kitchen. for instance: Spatula/CBlue - Spat/J&W - Offset/CIA - Bowl Knife/PICA. and the list can go on....I should sit down and think of some more sometime.

And then there's "trade" names like monkey dish, grapefruit bowl, ramekin, and that one I can't mention for metal scrubbies....indeed, the list goes on and on.....I just found out recently that double wrapping is a "New York" wrap. Learn something new everyday!

I always called that a "hotel" wrap or "wrap it like it's going to the Moon!"

see - Ive always referred to it as "Cater wrap" it - or - wrap it like you want to transport it in YOUR car.
