  What in holy hell is a salad spoon

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

      No joke, I once sat down at a restaurant with an Austrian exchange student who; when a somewhat-larger-than-usual ramekin of ranch was placed in front of him, before the rest of his meal came out; proceeded to unwrap a straw, stick it in the ranch, and take a drink.

      All I could do is watch as this unfolded before me.

  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 spoon in the OP. Meaning they require just as Steven Tyler of a mouth to successfully misuse as a round soup spoon.

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

  Now that I realize I’ve never seen an ice cream spoon before, I’m kind of sad

    I used to have one and never knew what it was. I thought it was weird it had a flat edge, figured it was broken.
