Like alot of the other high end WWing toolmakers LN has branched off into the gourmet kitchen utensil craze.This particular tool was developed to pit the new ultra high carb fruit the "chater",a geneticly engineered cross between a cherry and a potatoe(or tater).

It was originally called a "Porry" but the marketers thought it didn`t sound french enough.

The grooves at the rear of the tool are to keep the fruit from slipping and falling on the floor(there is no 3 second rule in gourmet cooking) after the pit has been removed.

Glad I could clear this up for you.

William Duffield, on the Cohansey

>Hogwash! You know as well as I do that they bred the pits out of the chaters before they ever put them on the market. But then, again, maybe this is a very rare prototype (which would explain the high price, maybe), and the guys in Warren were betting that the breeding would not be successful, and they would need a tool that had to do more than just remove the eyes.

At one time, there was no three second rule on the Cohansey, either. When Loxahatchee was Chief of Security, with his long legs and long nose, he could fall half way across the kitchen onto any dropped morsel, usually before the second bounce. Blackdawg, after mistakenly snagging a Thai chili in mid-air, is now a lot more cautious, and the three second rule is once again in effect in our kitchen.
