[Avodah] peelers-borer

[Rich, Joel]

From a write-up on borer and peelers:
"peelers for peels that are generally eaten with the fruit," (are "viewed as a sophisticated knife")[me- and thus not borer]
Me-1.which requires definition of how we determine "generally" (wo, essex county, us, world...............) 2.Is a sieve a sophisticated fork??? 3.No doubt that minhag yisrael includes many who do it-it's just not clear to me how that developed (i.e a priori first principles seem to lead to prohibition) - perhaps a good example of mimetic tradition?
