Made me smile, too. Thanks for posting.

I guess that is not what you want, but it is advertised and sold as an Asian Utility knife. Are you looking for an Asian brand?

I have this one, the 4 1/2" Wustoff Classic and am very happy with it.

I don't have a problem with it. I lay the cob down on the cutting board, start half way down, then turn the cob around and do the other half. The thing is sharp. I can't remember the instructions that came with it but i didn't like doing it the way they suggested. This works much better. Keeps the kernels under control too.

I have one very similar, mine is a Zyliss. I absolutely love it. Works like a charm.

@Tropicalsenior Those look really good. What are the red bits I see poking out?

I have no desire to eat anything other than what i eat now, so no change.

Good for him. Just goes to show that often it's the little things that matter.

I too had a mandoline I was afraid to use. I think it was a Bron. In any event, I donated it to the Shepherds of Good Hope's kitchen. They were glad to have it and I went out and bought an Oxo.

You i would always forgive.

Veggies. I know it's been mentioned before but I was googling for something the other day and I didn't see the word vegetables at all. Everywhere I looked i saw "Here a veggie, there a veggie, everywhere a veggie. Old MacDonald etc. I hate the word veggie.

I can't help you with your question, but I can welcome you to the forum. It's a great place.

I didn't buy it. The A4Box was given to me with the extra inserts. (Thank you Kerry)

I too, often think of Anna. I was fortunate enough to have met her in person and she was a wonderful, warm human being.

I bought a book called The Little Book of Takoyaki" Kindle Edition. Some recipes from that book that I want to try include Shrimp and Scallion takoyaki, Pancake and Sausage Pops, Blueberry Muffin Balls, Arancini and Lingonberry Aebleskiver. Should be fun.
