<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 4353741, member: 111&quot;]Asparagus tongs, other than the individual place tongs, were generally fairly large with tines or piercing to allow some drainage, though manufacturers and retailers would call a piece whatever might sell it (and of course, the owner can use it for whatever they want).&nbsp; This style and size were usually called sandwich tongs, the solid side sliding under small sandwiches or other foods like petit-fours, etc., held in place by the other side, some larger tongs, often scissor-type, were also sometimes called sandwich or pastry tongs, but I&#039;ve seen those more often in European silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>From Osterberg&#039;s &#039;Sterling Silver Flatware for Dining Elegance&#039; (1994):</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]361699[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
