Fijian Club?

Do you think Martha Stewart could start a new line of kitchen implements?

I checked my data and the spoon is GOGO tribe from Central Tanzania.

I dunno Ariel,

Was Martha Stewart convicted of a felony or a misdemeanor? If a felon, she really shouldn't be introducing a line of combat-ready kitchen utensils--she'd get arrested for weapons possession, for one thing.

Thanks Mapico--now my question is, how does one use this "spoon?" In a noncombat situation, I mean

Thank you very much Mapico. I really appreciate the help with this one. I might not really want to hear the truth, but it is how we all learn. I hope I'm not alone in learning the "hard" way. Man, was I happy when I was told this was a Ula. Now I just have to look in another direction and find the importance of this object in tribal daily life. I would love to understand how this "spoon" was used. I hope you can share more about it Mapico. Thank you so much again.

Well I heard this spoon was used by the wives of the that tribe to club their husbands over their heads when they insulted the wife's cooking or made a nasty remark about their mother inlaw.

Very funny Lew. I'm feeling better about my purchase already. For some reason I'm picturing an African version of the "Honeymooners". Ralph saying "one of these days Alice, straight to the Moon, and Alice saying, " you just try it Ralph and I'll hit you with my spoon-club"!

Hi again,latest info on tupperware and other kitchenalia.......
Spoon is used to make butter....spoon pressed in a bowl a little bigger in diameter.The lobs make it possible to let through the butter while pressing.
That's why the spoon smells......like out of date butter.

I actually tried to smell the spoon Danny. My wife thought I had lost it. I didn't smell anyting, but the spoon is old.
Got any photos of the tribes people to post? Can you recommend a book about these people so I might learn more?
Thanks for all your help. I really appreciate it.
