It was surrounded by lost of useless-but-essential items like a curved stainless steel plate with holes in and a handle (a "saucepan drainer" - I use the saucepan lid instead) and hundreds of marginally-different Sabatier knives, all with unique names implying a unique function. Filleting, boning, paring, slicing ... six would have covered every conceivable culinary need. So when I came to these 'onion goggles' my WTF-meter went off the scale. The fact that they look remarkably similar to my bike-specific sunglasses, complete with foam seal round the eyes, made me chuckle. Although the pink frames wouldn't look good with a Harley. Not a bloke's Harley, anyway.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15743685798068014455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7099099432720184584.post-430547624157523922011-06-02T21:49:16.939+01:002011-06-02T21:49:16.939+01:00Onions need goggles now?
