Are moderators just purely altruistic? Or do they have an ulterior motive?

    These are great, the long ass skinny one is my favorite lol. But why is there a fork specifically for pickled herring? And who uses a fork for a sandwich??

      The long ass skinny one is great for pickle jars on the dining table. We love pickles.

      The herring one, well, it’s called “sillgaffel” in Swedish. We do use it when we eat pickled herring, but also for olives and other small delicacies served in small bowls instead of using tooth picks to pick them out.

      The “sandwich” one is accompanied by a “sandwich” knife, and are intended to be used for appetizers, and according to an older friend, single sandwiches with ham and (sometimes melted) cheese would be served as appetizers occasionally.

      There are dessert forks as well, but they are rare. There are proper crustacean forks too that I would like, as they’d be useful.

      There also are supposed to exist fish forks (and fish knives) in the series as well, but I kind of stop before that.
