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.
mouth ladle?
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.
Never seen a soup spoon like that in Europe. Everyone has a variant of these though
Exactly that.
It's a low mug.
Pretty sure that's the type you're supposed to be able to shape and bend with your mind
The one Kadabra and Alakazam has lol
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?
These are normal soup spoons where I come from.
Probably because they aren't aware or just don't care about the difference
What in holy hell is a salad spoon
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
That would be why I asked if it's their first one. They look different in different places and not everyone knows they even exist.
thats a teaspoon, dude
You put a spoon that big in a sugar bowl and drop it in your tea and you'll have the kind of crazily sweet iced tea they have in the American South except hot.
if theyre quite large then its a tablespoon
The point is that these are their only sort of spoons.
i feel you. its wack. ive never liked soup spoons. i eat cereal and soup with a teaspoon
Here's a wild thought: You can choose to pick up only a little bit of sugar. No one's forcing you to fill up the whole spoon like a digger on a JCB lol.
Those are regular spoons, not soup spoons. https://duckduckgo.com/?t=h_&q=soup+spoons&iax=images&ia=images
That's a tablespoon boss.
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!
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*
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.
That is shaped like the spoon I consider my best spoon, heathen.
You are entitled to your incorrect spoon opinion.
Some would say there is no spoon
i see you've played knifey spoony before
Steven Tyler mouth LOL
Looks like a style where you kind of sip off the side all fancy like.
Maybe that's my problem. I'm a philistine.
What do your spoons say about you?
These scream "mentally unstable" and "completely deranged"
A true friend would organize an intervention.
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.
that seems like a type of ladle
Thicc
This ain't no soup spoon I ever seen, mine are nice and circular instead of whatever mildly oblong abhorrence this is
Looks like a spoon for wax casting. Bring your own spoon next time
