I'm a kitchen utensil

For those not aware of this game, it's like twenty questions. But instead of being a famous person or a type of animal, you have to pick kitchen utensils. This version of the game became a favourite of mine after I realised that there are more types of kitchen utensils than there are famous people in the world or types of animal (that people know about).

Anyway, I was at my parents' house over the weekend and spotted a new type of kitchen utensil. I realise a blog is not the best medium for a game that's essentially twenty questions, so I've also included a picture. Can you guess what it is? Even with seeing it, I was none the wiser. It hasn't got any moving parts it is just a lot of spikes in a row on a handle.

I suppose I should also post something about my fell running training. Here's what I've done over the last few weeks:

Saturday: 9 miles
Sunday: 4 miles hill reps
Monday: 4 miles steady
Tuesday: No running (Mrs Noel at Bjorn Again!)
Wednesday: No running (Mrs Noel's fell race - Herod Farm - 3rd lady and 1st LV40)
Thursday: 10 miles
Friday: 3 miles
Weekly total: 30 miles

Saturday: 5 miles
Sunday: 8.5 miles
Monday: 3 miles (hill sprint reps)
Tonight: 6 miles

Here's a picture from one of my runs. It's the steaming slurry heap from one of the local farms amid Saturday's early-morning frost. It's a glamorous life this fell running.
