Worry not Spoon-Swappers - Ms. Dish and I are still on the prowl! I know it's been a little while, but just this past weekend we excecuted another swap, this time at BXL East:
Ms. Dish and I went to BXL East to celebrate that festival of Belgiumish culture that is cycling's Ronde van Vlaanderen a.k.a. Tour of Flanders. In between watching Belgium's own Tom Boonen sprint to victory and Fabian Cancellara's quadruple collarbone fracture we enjoyed a delicious taste of Belgiumese cuisine.
Here is our new Spoon Number Fourteen:
Fourteen was a tricky swap, as it is nearly identical to Spoon Thirteen. It is differentiated by the marking "Qualite Dominion" on the back. As with Spoon Twelve, I found no information about a "Qualite" manufacturer. Are they defunct? Anti-internet? Also, as with Spoon Twelve, it appears that other manufacturers make a very similar "Dominion" spoon, including ABC Valueline, Walco, and Winco. Isn't that suspicious? Is there one huge factory out there somewhere stamping out "Dominion" style spoons with different manufacturer's names on them? Or if you tell someone in the spoon business that you need a "Dominion" spoon, do they nod knowlingly and pull out a catalog of "Dominion" manufacturers? And in fact wasn't it Spoon Number 4 that we identified as an ABC Valueline Dominion? It was!
