Cheese Grater

[aeiou]

I don't believe I have ever seen an eight sided grater. What in the world would possess someone to make one with eight sides. I just have to know ... does or should I say did it stand up like the 4 sided ones? Were all the sides a different type of grate type?

I had never seen one either - it is eight-sided and much more flimsy than the four-sided. It has different size grates on it - and they were not very noticeable either! And - it doesn't grate as well as the four-sided one. Size-wise it's a bit shorter and has a slant to it (which makes it more dangerous with that much of a slant) because of all the sides which are smaller than a four-sided - sort of "skirted" or "flared" a bit. The cheese stuck to it more and just didn't grate well at all. Take the four-sided and make 2 of each side but smaller than the four-sided and then smaller than that. Sort of hard to put into words - but easy for me to say - IT'S NO GOOD! LOL

Mama, thank you for the very detailed description of that odd 8 sided grater. I would have to agree that the best place for one is at someone else's kitchen. LOL
