I'm staying with some friends and all of their spoons are this ridiculous shape that is clearly designed for the mouth of someone like Steven Tyler. I may have to reconsider our friendship.

There's a reason spoons are narrow on the sides.

It's a soup spoon. It doesn't seem that unusual. You aren't supposed to stick the entire spoon in your mouth.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 3 months ago

mouth ladle?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 months ago

You aren't supposed to, but you definitely should. Stare everyone deeply in their eyeballs and stick the whole bowl of the spoon in your mouth. Then add everyone else's spoons to your mouth one at a time. Keep eye-contact.

This is correct. I'm old, and when I was a girl every home had soup spoons - along with teaspoons, dessert spoons and tablespoons. They appear to have died out, who knows why*. Some of my friends have heritage sets, I don't. I eat my soup with a dessert spoon, like an ignorant youth.

** On reflection, maybe it's a measuring thing? Baking recipes use teaspoons and tablespoons, but never soup spoons.

Exactly that.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago

Idk, I never had problems getting the business part of the spoon into my mouth.

Never could get the whole handle too though...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

You don't stick the whole thing in your mouth?

big spoon currently in my mouth

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

It's a low mug.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Pretty sure that's the type you're supposed to be able to shape and bend with your mind

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 months ago (2 children)

i’m confused. it looks like a normal soup spoon. is it unusually large for a soup spoon or is this your first soup spoon?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 months ago (8 children)

These are normal soup spoons where I come from.

[–] [email protected] 69 points 3 months ago (7 children)

Probably because they aren't aware or just don't care about the difference

[–] [email protected] 26 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What in holy hell is a salad spoon

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's for directly consuming the mug o' ranch we traditionally serve with a small plate of garnish weeds in the US.

Some soup spoons are indeed oblong like a tablespoon. But because there isn't anything in that etsy photo above to provide context, you might miss that the heads of those spoons are most likely much larger than that of a tablespoon. Sure, they're just as oval-shaped as what OP expects, but they're also just as wide as the round spoon in the OP. Meaning they require just as Steven Tyler of a mouth to successfully misuse as a round soup spoon.

I love drinking my MTN Dew with a soda spoon

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I suppose that this is the basic spoon set that excludes things like the grapefruit spoon.

How did you get it that wrong? Firstly, it's not "a", there's several. Secondly, they're tablespoons.

You somehow managed to be more wrong than OP, which is unbelievable.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

you really got me there man! I mean I've met some pretty smart and cool people in my travels but holy fuck you made me look like a complete idiot and I am absolutely in awe of you.

Squid! How could you! Lol these are soup spoons (or as we call them in New England: Chowder Spoons)

Now, why they only have soup spoons as opposed to having some of a few different kinds…ok well THAT your friends are weird for!

[–] [email protected] 27 points 3 months ago

One of the 10,000 club today, buddy. Enjoy your soup.

Look at this uncultured peasent, can't tell it's soup spoon from its dessert spoon! *Billionaire laugh*

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago

Those are bouillon spoons. I prefer to eat with them all the time, but I have teaspoons and Tablespoons as well. You could look on this as a gifting opportunity rather than bitching.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

Some would say there is no spoon

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

Steven Tyler mouth LOL

Chinese soup spoon > european soup spoon

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

A true friend would organize an intervention.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

You're right, but I'm going to have to find a way to hack into their contacts to find out who their local friends are.

Probably going to have to call in a favor from Russia.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Looks like a style where you kind of sip off the side all fancy like.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Maybe that's my problem. I'm a philistine.

Looks like a spoon for wax casting. Bring your own spoon next time
