An ashtray for the kitchen.
The “chop-O-matic”
Or anything ending with “O-matic” is comedy gold.
You Genltepersons have obviously never had cornbread.
Neither are you “from around here.”
I’m picturing those great big salad servers that you used to be able to get to put on the wall. If you want something totally impractical.
How funny, the google ads mention a store in my home town, Little Rock…when I think of “low brow” cooking potato masher comes to mind, crock pots are kind of tacky, though I use mine…
Fellow traveler!
I can’t decide between a toaster oven and a chainsaw.
A scraper to get the kill up off the road.

Hi! so was it “white trash” or “cooking utensil” that caused that particular ad to pop up ? :rolleyes:
I’ve got an ad for ACE Hardware, which might be the place to look for that utensil for that particular someone…
Had a girlfriend invite me to dinner one night and served the food with what first appeared to be a spatula. But on closer inspection I found it was one of those things used to clean the chunks out of a littler box. Day-Ummm!
Once I pointed this out to her, she reassured me that she had bought it new at the store and it had never been used for anything else. Still. Makes being a grateful guest difficult.
Meat tenderizer.
Or Velveeta. But if the cookbook is actually intended to be used as a cookbook, then I’d have to chime in with “cast iron skillet” as well. Never underestimate the power of a cast iron skillet.
Grab any beat up utensil from your drawer or local Salvation Army, duct tape a bottle opener to it and you are home free.
Howzabout some mason jars to drink from?
And always use paper towels for napkins. And no meal is complete without some condiments: Tabasco sauce, sorghum, vinegar/pepper sauce, and ketchup. Mustard and mayo are optional for breakfast.
The mention of cornbread suggests two more utensils, both cast iron. One is a cornbread baking pan with pie-slice shaped sections. The other is for making the ear-of-corn shaped cornbread-sticks. The better cornbread is at least two inches thick so another big skillet for that purpose ought to be handy as well.
The winner!
A Balogna Press.
A slotted spatula/spoon for use with the deep fat fryer.
Tie a small tyre to a rope. Punch holes in the tyre. You got yourself a tyre-swing sald spinner right there.
Salad spinner.
A bottle of vodka.
