I needed a hard news story like this to lower my BP. My only thought is the Brits must suck on their spoons or something.

My sterling silverware does not effect the taste of food. This is ridiculous.

[molson209]

What about all those that eat with their fingers ? LOL

[mountainlion]

Silver was an early medicine. When people quit eating with real Silver silverware they started getting more ill.

That is why ice cream taste testers use gold spoons.

I dunno about making food taste bad, but they sure do make me fat!................

The head taste tester at Dreyer’s Ice Cream uses a gold spoon. End of discussion.

I knew this article would be a waste of time. What a waste of time. If your life ambition is to make the greatest spoon you need to reevaluate your life. I can’t even believe that an article was written on this. Then again I did read it, I feel sad now...

Silver, gold, stainless or plastic. Can’t tell the difference when eating Navy chow.

I saw a young guy at work (hipster-type judging by his mannerisms, especially his valley girl up talking) eating his Greek yogurt with a big wooden spoon, like the kind you would use to stir a pot. I really had to restrain myself from slapping it out of his hand.

And then I saw another person eating his candy bar with a knife and fork! Has the world gone insane?

[Tijeras_Slim]

Nonsense! Silver is good for you!

the Institute of Making

Unless that's a city in China, it strikes me as the dumbest organization since the Association of People Who Do Stuff.

[If You Want It Fixed - Fix It]

I just avoid sugar and salt and other spices, then stuff stops tasting good and I can use any utensil.

[docbnj]

Did they test bamboo or ivory chopsticks? What about plastic spoons from a fast-food restaurant? What about fingers? During the Middle Ages, people ate with only one utensil: a knife. The rest was handwork.

Don’t serious weenie-philes use silver cups for tasting? That’s oenophile for the informed...I saw a couple of fairies using those cups in Key West once...weenie-phile came to mind.
