Pearls of wisdom from an octogenarian who’s seen it all…
Sets of Kitchen Knives
Hands up all you daft buggers who own sets of ‘chef’s knives’. In wooden blocks or hanging on magnets. Twenty-three mild steel knives you have to sharpen if you so much as look at them… Twenty-three silent testaments to your gullibility. Twenty-three knives of which you use probably none.
My late unlamented was a chef by profession (his cooking being one of the reasons I put up with his presence for so long). He used three knives – and one of them was solely for threatening people who wandered into the kitchen.
You need a big knife and a little one. That’s it
