My old sous from 12 years ago said something about tasting with a spoon not a fork, and I finally get it
Was cleaning out my knife bag and found a fork I used to sneak tastes with, and it hit me why she yelled at me about it back in 2013. A spoon holds the liquid and aroma together so you actually taste the sauce, a fork just gives you a cold metal bite of whatever it spears. Anybody else still catch themselves grabbing the wrong one during a rush?
