What-is.it question CLXXXVI

[Qrt.S]

What do we do with this? Hint: It is more common in USA than in Europe. Its length is 130mm/5 inch

Hi Qrt.S,

I use this tool daily and I believe it is called a 'Butter Pick, One Tine ' to spear butter pats or curls from the butter dish onto the plate perhaps some of us could use it as a toothpick.

Best,

Oel.

It also works well for emptying my pipe.

LOL Wev. Butter vs. tobacco, sounds like a good way to start a war at a medical convention...

Just another good reason to shun doctors.

[Qrt.S]

Well done Oel, that is correct. It is a butter picker. You can pick or serve small "butter balls" with it. I never seen one before when I stumbled into this one. I just had to buy it.
