Show this to a Spaniard, and he or she will likely react with a mixture of curiosity and condescension. What, after all, is the use of a dull metal spear with holes in it? Despite the fact that Spaniards insist on the necessity of peeling just about everything, including tomatoes and apples, peelers just haven't taken off here. I guess this speaks somewhat to Spaniards' tremendous dexterity. Give me a knife and a cucumber, on the other hand, and all that will remain is a fine sliver. It's a good thing I didn't follow in my father's footsteps of becoming a moel!
