Mystery Item

[David2011]

This item was posted on a social media site looking for identification. The vast spectrum of knowledge of this group never ceases to amaze. It appears to be cast iron but I can't guarantee that. It could be some kind of wood. The poster only asked what it was.

Chitlins are made from intestines. Crackling can be made from pork lard or pork rinds.

No sense in posting incorrect info. I will call them by the correct name.

A quick search shows the correct answer. https://www.bing.com/search?q=what+are+chitlins&form=MSNSB1&refig=340072e4d85d4293a113ecb805ef59be&mkt=en-us&sp=1&lq=0&qs=LS&pq=what+are+chitlins&sc=10-17&cvid=340072e4d85d4293a113ecb805ef59be

My gandpa told me the easter bunny was real when I was 5 years old?????????? I later learned the truth.

Never ate chitlins but have made and eaten a lot of cracklings.

I don't have all the answers, I just have lots of questions, next you going to tell me Santa is not real and ruin my whole week

[bedbugbilly]

Pretty obvious . . . . . a spoon for feeding twins at the same time! :-)

[farmbif]

dont know about the double spoon but the best cracklins I ever had was at comeaux cajun cafe in Lafayette they make em every day fresh in a 6' wide cast iron pot or thats how it was back in late 80's when I happened upon the place.

Ha? double egg roaster?

[Hogtamer]

I suspect there was a corresponding set that fit on top with protrusions that fit the i dent on the handle. Maybe egg poacher.

[challenger_i]

I'm gonna second the "Mountain Oyster Cooker"... :)

[Bazoo]

Might be some sort of tool for glass blowing.

[David2011]

Geez, these answers are as bad as the ones on the social media site. One suggestion was testicle holder. Hope I can say that here. So far Bazoo’s seems the most credible answer. No doubt one of my grandparents would have known. Still hoping to know for sure.

[David2011]

After enduring the world’s slowest website I found out that it’s a Yacouba Double Spoon. It’s a symbol of hospitality in traditional African art. It represents two very distinct universes that are opposite. It’s made of carved wood.

[bedbugbilly]

Hey Dave . . . . at least I was half right! I just was wrong on the "twins" part! LOL :-)

I love the "what is it" posts . . . . kind of keeps us old ones from goin' totally senile! :-)

[Bazoo]

Cool, now we know.

[Finster101]

It's just too much fun makin' stuff up. Gotta' admit the "what is it" guesses are sometimes funny.
