The horn comes for farmed African domestic cattle and the spoons are cut and polished to a limpid translucence by Abbeyhorn of Carnforth, who have been doing it for over 250 years, a story too long to describe fully here. Each tiny spoon takes hours to makes, and believe me, only seconds to break. But as they are mildly aseptic. Do not corrode nor carry any taint into or from the food, many caviare lovers insist on them. Why not buy one as an amusing alternative for the child who tires of the silver one in its mouth?
