Spoons Of The Air

There are several unanswered questions I have about Germany.

Are their home-grown musicians really THAT bad as to allow David Hasselhoff to be the biggest knockwurst on the musical grill? Do their manufacturers of jeans only possess one color of dye, namely "Aerosmith in 1982 faded light blue"? And now I have another one to add to the mix: Is cutlery still a novelty in that part of Europe?

Ladies and Gentleman, may I introduce you to the hottest site on the Web – Spoons Of The Air.

Labeled as "the largest collection of airline spoons on the Internet", this site contains all the information you'll ever need about aviation cutlery. From Aer Lingus to Lufthansa, spoons from a wide variety of airlines are put under the microscope and subjected to tough, no-nonsense reviews.

Commenting on the quality of the spoons on Delta Airlines, the reviewer fires-off: "'You love the way we fly!' was the slogan of Delta a few years ago. That might be right for traveling with Delta, but not for the spoon: too long (14.3 cm) and too heavy for easy traveling. And the design is quite unusual. The finishing is good, the logo impression on the backside is deep but a little bit unsharp."

The spoons on Air Canada seem to fair much better, but the review has a devastating sting in the tail: "The strange design of this spoon is realy an eye catcher. The little wings on the left and right of the handle are special, but not too dominating. The length of the spoon is good (13.6 cm), the polish is very good and the logo impression is perfect. But the spooon is too heavy to eat a light dessert."

Coming next week, look out for "Forks Of The Sea", "Rotisseries Of The Rails" and "Mugs Of The Road".
