Us humans are incredibly innovative things. Ancient historical sites reveal that, some million or two years ago, we were using simple, sharp stones to make spearheads to hunt and fish. Later on, we started incorporating metal into the works, and wood, and cloth.
Fast forward to 2024, and some of us humans never bothered to mix things up a bit. Like Greg, who somehow manages to use the same wooden spoon to stir soup, scramble eggs, flip steak and even use it to eat the steak.
Now, you may be thinking 'Why, Greg, why!?' Wouldn't his kitchen (and his scrambled eggs) be so much better with a range of different utensils, like our deal on a whole set from Jane Becker? Yes, it would. It really would.
