I'm more inclined toward useful and comfort than I am elegance, but I once had to open my car kit while stopped far behind a multi-car accident on a cold day. I pulled out some instant cocoa, two cups, an old silver Goodwill spoon, and my small stove, and made some cocoa to go with some shortbread cookies.

My friend was shielding the stove from the wind, and said in a surprised tone, "OH, you brought the good silver!"
