IF YOU WERE STUCK ON A DESERT ISLAND WITH UNLIMITED BOTTLES OF WINE AND OYSTERS, AND COULD ONLY CHOOSE EITHER A CORKSCREW OR A SHUCK KNIFE, WHICH WOULD YOU CHOOSE AND WHY?
The names of the winners will be announced on Monday 23 June 2014. Best of luck!
Stuck on a desert island with wine and oysters - dizzyingly romantic combinations! If I had to pick only one instrument to open both items, I would pick the shuck knife. It would quite obviously allow me to open up all my oysters, but I could also use it to prod the wine cork into the bottle itself, leaving it to bob around and myself able to enjoy the wine. (Never mind the shucking knife's other possible use in spearing fish and opening up exotic island fruits, perhaps? Watch out, Bear Grylls!)
I would be an absolute primitive and choose the shuck knife and thereby not only get to open and saviour some fresh oysters but would hopefully manage to work the wine bottle cork little by little out the wine bottle! What a bonus it would be if the wine was in a screwtop bottle ;-)
Would take the corkscrew as you would always be able to find something to open oysters and eat them. One will not always be able to find something to open the win. And one can not be stuck on an island, round a romantic fire without wine..
