I had never seen such a big mezzaluna before and so I was quite mystified by its use. Clearly the mezzaluna Carlos posted was never intended for piles of fresh herbs. It makes far more sense to use something that massive to cut pizzas. You have won fair and square Chris! I look forward to guessing your picture. ID: 1308819 ·

Ladies and Gentlemen, I should like to thank the Academy, my agent, the producer, my family ...... Ahem, I've been told to shut up and get on with it ... What is this? ID: 1308928 ·

The other end is to pierce the dough, when it's in the oven, to check if it's fully baked. (a wild guess...) rOZZ Music Pictures ID: 1308935 ·

I can see that: "Figure AM15f shows an ice pick with a very unusual ice tongs attachment to the handle. The bent/twisted wire tongs are serrated on the inside surface to aid in gripping the chips of ice produced by the pick.

What I was looking for was the tongs part. I made it too easy by not loading it to photobucket first with a new name. pm sent. ID: 1309181 ·
