Indeed! That was quick 🙂
I have no idea what "jummie" means though.
It's the sound Belgians make when they see something delicious
Okay... I lived 15 years in Liege and I never heard that one 🙂 Must be Walloon from some other region.
Dutch speaking part :)
We also call them escargots, to honour the cuisine <3
Dutch speaking part :)
Oh hehe 🙂 Didh't think of that.
How is it used? Is it for scooping the meat out of the shell, or for scooping up the entire snail, shell and all?
It holds the shell.
I also thought escargot.
It's used for cock and ball torture
Almost
Huh, I was thinking tongs for hard boiled eggs.
I was thinking maybe cold scotch rocks. Apparently not though.
Or for grabbing a hot chunk from the fireplace. I think in pre-electric days they'd do that to quickly heat something up or maybe light a cigar, etc.
You pinch your nose with it while eating escargot
