Omg, I just found out there are two more forks I don’t have! Going to waste a month tracking them down…
(Ignore me, this reignited my sometimes-pastime of completing my cutlery, just wanted to share some of my joy.)
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.

Wait, you have a coffee spoon and a tea spoon? Fair enough, you’re not a monster, you’re just weirdly anal about spoons. I’m not criticizing. I’m being weirdly anal about silverware placement.
There are two more spoons I lack in this collection. But no, I just like this series as it’s semi-retro, and I thrift it at second hand stores and at auction sites.
I was joking otherwise, just wanted to throw my punch in this discussion. :D
Also, big spoons, then little spoons. Not together in the same slot, you monsters!
How do you feel about forks in the same slot?

Pickled herring fork, sandwich/dessert fork, table fork, pickle/crustacean fork
Although, I have to admit I keep these in three separate slots.

I can’t live in this kind of chaos! It’s like the last days of Rome
I hope you have named these forks after Muppets.
From left to right, they are clear to me as: Robin the Frog, Kermit, Bunsen Honeydew, and Beaker.
… so you’re telling me I need five slots for spoons?

Salt/caviar spoon, coffee spoon, tea spoon, dessert spoon, tablespoon
I’m a monster who separates only the tablespoon into a separate compartment.
Hold on I need to check with the wife if neat spoons are something we’re allowed to invite people into the relationship over but I’m sure it’s okay

I would probably have some kind of breakdown if I opened the drawer to find total anarchy like that.
