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.

[–] Zachariah 38 points 1 week ago

mouth ladle?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week 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.

Never seen a soup spoon like that in Europe. Everyone has a variant of these though

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

Never could get the whole handle too though...

[–] Treczoks 11 points 1 week ago

Exactly that.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

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

big spoon currently in my mouth

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

It's a low mug.

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

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

[–] HoneyMustardGas 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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!

[–] JimVanDeventer 27 points 1 week 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] 20 points 1 week ago

I've always known these to be called soup spoons. You use em with soup.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week 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] 13 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That is shaped like the spoon I consider my best spoon, heathen.

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

A true friend would organize an intervention.

[–] FlyingSquid 4 points 1 week 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.

[–] NegativeLookBehind 5 points 1 week ago

What do your spoons say about you?

These scream "mentally unstable" and "completely deranged"

[–] Retrograde 5 points 1 week ago
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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