Ms. Dish and I recently went on another road trip up to the vicinity of Providence, Rhode Island. On our return back home we were famished for some breakfast and found just what we were looking for at the Gentleman Farmer:
This was a great breakfast joint that allowed us the good fortune of swapping Spoon #44:
Number 44 is marked "Qualite Windsor". Although the Qualite brand is still a mystery to us, it does seem to display quite similar styling to the Sysco Windsor that we swapped as Spoon 42. This continues what I see as a very perplexing phenomenon of multiple companies producing similar spoons with the same name. Remember the "Dominion" line? What exactly is going on here? Are these knockoff spoons? Where do these styles and trends originate? To track these cases, I have added a "Loeffelganger" category until we get to the bottom of things. Much credit to Ursa Minor for coining this term, a combination of the German words Loeffel, for spoon, and Doppelganger, meaning "double goer". "Spoon-goer" doesn't make much sense, but you get the point!
