Why are butter knives so dang useless? They aren't sharp enough to cut anything and they aren't even that good at spreading butter. How did we end up with an *almost* pointless (literally and figuratively) weapon on the dinner table? Bee Wilson knows. (Mostly the answer is...men.) In her book Consider the Fork, she explains the origins of the butter knife, addresses why French cooking is the way it is, and explores the ways our culture is shaped by our kitchens. Not just the food that's made in them, but what the food is made with, the tools and technology of feeding ourselves.
This book is one of Gwenna's favorites for a lot of reasons. She doesn't have any fancy awards to give but she gives some anyway. (There's even medals, y'all.) Tori and Gwenna also take a bit of time to discuss reading formats, veiny things, pasta water, narrative non-fiction, and how Tori is running out of Wood books.

Well, without being MOST of the reason my kid needs therapy.
