I was making tzatziki tonight for our dinner tomorrow, and I was using my citrus reamer. I honestly couldn’t get along without it, but every time I whip it out of the drawer to ream some poor fruit, I get a mad case of the evil giggles.
I also have a ceramic fish-shaped ginger grater. I call it “fish grater” which brings to mind the disturbing image of grated fish instead of ginger, and then I laugh again.
I know. I’m weird. My kitchen is more like a mad scientist’s laboratory.
The “fish grater” and fruit reamer always make me giggle, but then again so does the meat tenderizer (the meat pounder).
When getting out a spatula, I always get a laugh thanks to the movie UHF (Spatula City)
I also find whisks hilarious, but have no idea why. :o
It’s not a household tool, just a garden variety tool, but I alway smile when I hear the words “bastard file” I also have vague memories of a single panel comic strip, in which a handma on a tv show prepairs to fix something. He is describing the tools he will use, and each one of them has an offensive name.
