Spoon Rests! What A Totally Superflous Kitchen Item!

I often see them in the op shops and think pffft, what a useless item. As if you couldn't use a saucer or whatever you have at hand while you're cooking. Making bolognese tonight I just rested the spoon on the side of the can.

I declared I was, I asked if you were icy?

I was going to go out and take a photo of an old figtree & historic drystone walls for the photo thread, but the weather is too rough to bother.

Next is to make sone soup, do some baking.. A dilemma now..Where shall I rest my spoon?

The obvious answer is to rest it where it fits, Am

"God forbid an Anglo regime like the Australian educational system in the mid- to late 1950s would even touch on such a sensitive subject."

I never started school till early 60's. Finished 13 years later in the 70,'s. We learnt about Irish famine in High School.

"The obvious answer is to rest it where it fits, Am"

That doesn't make sense. It would if we were discussing knives and knife blocks.
