 You are all such good sports we will have to find something else equally mysterious just to keep you on your toes.

So whatever it is was a starter set.

[Kerry Beal]

Or missing a piece

[rotuts]

or some were missing ?

 

an intelligent local person

 

would call the VV and ask them what it was

 

local would be key

I suppose one could email the photos to the general contact for the company and see if they respond.

Though I guess that takes the fun out of the enterprise!

But a very good idea if we ever want to know what they are!

[rotuts]

I agree.

 

Fun is Fun

 

but Ive noted the Lunch Ladies should have taken more pics.

 

the Ovals Stacked  etc.

 

not that they would do something like that

 

on purpose

This particular lunch lady thought she had done a much better job on the pictures!

@liuzhou  I was going through some  cooking videos on Facebook and found this one with our knife. It is at 1:58 And it is identical to the knife  that I bought here. 

[Kerry Beal]

Found this in a drawer - can't recall what I bought it for - would like to figure out what it is before I put in the charity box.

I think its a multi-purpose grater.      Cheese, tomato coulis, bread crumbs, what have you.    it may be one of those "jack of all trades, master of none" gadgets.

 

ETA, on our way home from the country, we pass a kitten rescue facility with fabulous thrift shop.     So several times a month, we cull such oddments from both town and weekend accumulations.     Good cause and occasional relief in cupboard space.    But we seem to "leave one, buy one" from their always fascinating stock.

I have an old one that I have used for grating Jaggery since the 1970s.  And oddly enough, I have used it a lot for grating the very hard Mexican chocolate!

 

[dcarch]

Seems to be very dangerous to use to grate any hard food.

 

Not trying to be gross, but ----- is it a  Food file or foot file?

I suspect that the one I took pictures I would remove a lot more foot than callus

My god - just the same only no rust on mine!

 

Think it's still going to a thrift store. I like my knuckles just too much.

Does anyone have recommendations for a long-handled dishwashing brush (with bristles)?

 

[ElsieD]

I use this one.
