Hey BTW, how about this one?
[image|http://www.kodin1.com/images/tuotekuvat/1022409_3.jpg||||]
Coupla bucks at the big stuff-for-the-home store I walk past right after/before the Metro station, on my way to/from work... Ya want I should buy five or ten of 'em and bung in the mail? Either way, I'll certainly check it out tomorrow.

Looks like a decent shape . . .
. . though I can't tell enough from the photo. If they're real wood and about 30 cm long I'd take 5 or so at a couple bucks each.

I have some friends in the food business.
And when I told them what I was looking for (after asking for info on catalogs/websites for supplies) every single one of them laughed at me and said "He can't tilt the pot?".

Tell 'em I don't do work-arounds.
Tilting big bubbling pots with one hand while weilding a spoon in the other is another opportunity for scalds, burns and making a mess. Work-arounds are not a substitute for the proper tool.

I thought you said this was only usefull to dip tastes from
mostly empty tall pots. Or did I misread you?

Mostly empty? No.
You should always cook in a pot that's the right size and shape for the job and that means it should never be too small. Not too small means you're pot may have significant headroom. Significant headroom makes getting a tastable spoon full with a flat (particularly the common round handled flat) spoon inconvenient.

Assorted models are in the mail.
Give it a week or three; I chose cheapskate surface mail.

The spoons are here
They are much better in shape than anything I've seen for many years, and are of the desirable soft wood (less heat conduction). The larger ones will need just a little carving to make them ideal, but so did my original model.
The trinkets included are also appreciated, especially the [link|http://virtual.finland.fi/netcomm/news/showarticle.asp?intNWSAID=25786|Sami] cell phone. I'm sure it will be ideal for communicating with the spirit world during shamanic rituals and that it can be used in everyday life as well is a plus.
The cloisonné pin of the Finnish flag will join my collection of cloisonné pins. The collection includes service pins from companies I used to work for, some religious and political pins (I think the "God and Country" one is Lutheran), swag from Comdex past (when it mattered) and Canadian trade booths, my Hitlerjugend pin, a Kriegsmarine service pin (World War I) and two SS stickpins.
If I remember correctly I purchased the Hitlerjugend and Kriegsmarine service pin somewhere during my misspent youth and inherited the SS stickpins from a crazy Russian (ummmm . . . is there another kind?) who shot himself (succeeded on second attempt - missed the first time).
Thanks, Conrad. Let me know when I can return the favor.
