So, I must admit when I asked yesterday what this was, I didn’t actually know. But given the many (yes, six is considered many to me) guesses, I had to find out. I was hoping someone would definitively know and be able to tell me, but after an unreasonably long internet search I was unable to confirm any of your guesses.
So, today after taekwondo (I was not beaten up by any small children today, thank you very much), I went back to my favorite Korean superstore to ask. After a brief conversation with a confused looking Korean woman, I got my answer.
And you are all wrong.
So, here’s my hint. It is in fact a utensil for food. So, no jar openers, no hair brushes, no tiny metal version of those things you used to make pot holders from the scrunchie thingies when you were eight.
The specific food it is used for is something that I cannot eat for approximately the next 19 hours. Something that has a lot of those omega-3 fatty acids.
Any guesses?
Also, as an aside, it’s taken about 15 years, but I’m finally regretting the fact that as a child I was somehow able to convince the Jackster to allow me to quit taking Korean lessons. As I blankly stare at people while that jabber to me in Korean I think about how awesome it would have been had I continued my Korean lessons along with my Hebrew lessons and been some multi-lingual super child who knew two languages that couldn’t be more foreign to one another.

It’s a fish de-scaler 😀
May I ask where you acquired it from? Thank you.
They had it at my local Asian market.
my guess is also some kind of de-boner
Meat tenderizer
Well, that would be fish, so something to de-bone, or a descaler of some sort?
But looking at it really closely, I can see a rubber band launcher in the making….
