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.
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?
That’s a tablespoon boss.
Those are regular spoons, not soup spoons. duckduckgo.com/?t=h_&q=soup+spoons&iax=images&ia=…
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!
That’s a soup spoon!
You’re a soup spoon.
NO SOUP FOR YOU!
One of the 10,000 club today, buddy. Enjoy your soup.
I’ve always known these to be called soup spoons. You use em with soup.
Look at this uncultured pease t, 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.
Some would say there is no spoon
That is shaped like the spoon I consider my best spoon, heathen.
You are entitled to your incorrect spoon opinion.
We need a post for everyone’s favorite spoon. There are clear winners in my drawer, too. One mystery spoon that I’d love someone to ID.
Participation forbidden if your utensils are a set.
i see you’ve played knifey spoony before
Asian soup spoon > european soup spoon
Wonder how long they were using chopsticks for their soup before they angrily invented the spoon
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.
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.
Thicc
What do your spoons say about you?
These scream “mentally unstable” and “completely deranged”
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
Ah, a BYOS friendship
Thar es no spewn.
I saw this spoon in Sri Lanka. Seemed like they have no other spoon shape and it was offered with meals like oat porridge and sago porridge.
Okay, crossing Sri Lanka off the bucket list.
What you got there is a bouillon spoon.
Well they have a drawer full of bullion spoons and no other spoons.
I’m sort of scared, but at least I only have one more night here.

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?

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.

Idk, I never had problems getting the business part of the spoon into my mouth.
Never could get the whole handle too though…

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.

Never seen a soup spoon like that in Europe. Everyone has a variant of these though
berryjam@lemmy.world 1 week ago
