Oh! Spoons! Can I assume the potatoes will be mashed tonight?

What it means
Our interpretation.
The sight of spoons prompts an eager question about whether the potatoes will be mashed. The formal phrase 'can I assume' makes the small deduction sound unusually considered. The line finds humour in treating an ordinary utensil as a promising clue about dinner.
