My Mom has dementia and for those days I wonder if she is getting worse I get my answer.
From the other room I hear " Don't eat pie with a fish fork"
Of course I laugh and quietly but she hears me and yells it at me the next time like a command. Yikes!!
It turns out that "someone" ate fish with the silver and she noticed while eating no sugar pie (she decided to use silver as her everyday cutlery because Dad never allowed it when alive).
Now, I have no idea if fish tarnishes and my bad if it does. To me, silver has to be polished now and then or everything tastes weird.
I did not want to be put in a time out on the punish chair so told her I never eat fish. LOL

Well cheers to your mom for using the silverware everyday. My parents had theirs stolen when they moved to the apartment. I have a set that my inlaws bought for us when we got engaged 24 years ago. I think we have used it twice. What a waste. Maybe some day I will use it everyday.....
I've never heard of fish causing a problem with silverware. Yes silver needs to be cleaned to remove the tarnish which can have an odd taste. You also need to wash it with soapy water after cleaning it because the polish can leave a taste. Overall a lot of work.
Maybe I will stick with my kohls flatware....
Latest remark: Mom says she has no privacy (I turned away so my grin would not be seen)

Yes, this all reminds me of that VERY OLD show on TV hosted by Art Linkletter called "Kids Say The Darndest Things".
