Dino	posted 29-Jan-2004 4:21am I have no idea. I would be tempted to call it Silverware.
ROCKMAN	posted 29-Jan-2004 6:46am Yes I think it is still called silverware, but I think there's another name used besides silverware that might fit it better. I can't think of it right now though.
judgescratch	posted 29-Jan-2004 6:56am Why yes, I think it would!

ROCKMAN	(reply to lara) posted 29-Jan-2004 8:56am THAT'S IT Thanks, I just couldn't think of it earlier. I knew there was another name for it though.
bill	posted 29-Jan-2004 9:17am silverware=flatware (which can be gold). Unfortunate that we call flatware silverware, I suppose, but who really cares anyway?
Enheduanna	posted 29-Jan-2004 9:40am Not technically, although I'm sure it would still be called that by many. The more appropriate term is "flatware."
Zang	posted 29-Jan-2004 10:41am No, but it would still be considered cutlery, tableware or flatware.
pandora	posted 29-Jan-2004 12:59pm Most of what we call silverware these days is technically called flatware or tableware as far as I know. So I suspect that utensils are only truly called silverware when they actually are made, at least partly, from silver.

darkshadowsseeker	posted 30-Jan-2004 2:00pm Yes, because silverware is just a generic name given to flatware (knives, forks, spoons) that you eat with. Mine is stainless steel, but I still call it silverware.
sonikJ	posted 1-Feb-2004 5:08am No, I'd just call it flatware.
nasale	posted 3-Feb-2004 1:48am It would be too soft and I'd have crap fit if it got dirty, so I guess the answer is no
ndjadesmommy	posted 3-Feb-2004 6:30am flatware is flatware no matter what color it is, so really it cant be silverware cause its not silver unless its gold coloring with silver underneath
freebird	posted 11-Feb-2004 6:34pm Oh geez---indecision once again.
Irene007	posted 21-Feb-2004 4:09pm No it would be flatware.
