Cutlery Arrangements - The Correct British Way

[Chinajan]

Inspired by an entertaining thread on Twitter today.

The correct way to store one's cutlery is as follows:

Top drawer in the kitchen. None of this silly second drawer down nonsense.
In the cutlery tray - from left to right: knives, forks, spoons. Teaspoons horizontally stored in the bottom space.

Jury's out on second drawer down versus counter-top holder for utensils.

Well AB?

BTW - only knives are cutlery, the rest is flatware!

Smacks of OCD.Store everything as it suits you.

"Cutlery?

Er, what's that then?"

Until I was fifteen, I thought they were jewellery

Does it matter? Surely it's whatever suits the individual.

Sounds like a version of Rock, Paper, Scissors!

What about one's chopsticks?

Ah, but what about the cherry stoner, grapefruit knife, apple corer, potato peeler, thing for scraping the cooker job and one cocktail stick?

throw the lot in together, it matters not a jot in the grand scheme of things.
