Meme me up, baby!

More memes this morning, 'cos there are some crackers around at the moment. And besides, I have a cold and am miserable, so need cheering up with delightful trivia.

Ahah! I own an onion chopper ... although I'm not on your friends list so it probably doesn't count. (that could be rectified, however - I met you briefly at the ball - it's Kyra, you probably don't remember me). Its singularly the most useless piece of kitchenware the world as ever seen - mainly because it only fulfills 50% of its remit. Yes, you can put an onion in there. But does it chop it? No, no, it more sort of cuddles up against the onion. So I actually own an onion-cuddler. So I guess it doesn't count after all.

I don't really remember you from the ball, but I've friended you anyway, 'cos I'm in that kind of mood. Which means you're right, I am busted. Is your onion-chopper orange though?

That's okay, we only met very very briefly. But thank you anyway.
No, it has pretentions to being a high-tech piece of equipment which means that it's got a silvery hue.

Ooh, space-age! Mine is definitely more of a retro thang...

Cool! I'm sure that will cheer me up lots.

I also have an onion chopper, which is a neutral off-white. It was bought in the States--don't know if you can get them in the UK these days, and I have it because I love onions but raw onion fumes really really drive my eyes mad. Even using the chopper to get them done in triple quick time, I always have to start frying them immediately and put chopping board and chopper into a sinkful of water.

Still... Best Invention for the Kitchen Ever.

Tchah! I knew I'd fall down on the technology one. I'm just not much of a technology person.

Actually, I mainly use my onion chopper for chopping up mint aeros to sprinkle on the top of pavlova (the One True Pavlova Topping). It does a great job on those, but isn't much good with actual onions, because they get stuck on the blade and just go up and down with it rather than actually getting chopped.
