This spoon. (lemmy.world)

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@lemmy.world 38 points 2 weeks ago

mouth ladle?

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 21 points 2 weeks 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.

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

Never could get the whole handle too though...

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Exactly that.

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 6 points 2 weeks ago

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

big spoon currently in my mouth

[-] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago

It's a low mug.

[-] ShellMonkey@lemmy.socdojo.com 49 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] HoneyMustardGas@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

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@lemmy.world 27 points 2 weeks 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*

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 20 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 weeks 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.

[-] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 13 points 2 weeks ago

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

What do your spoons say about you?

These scream "mentally unstable" and "completely deranged"

[-] Pudutr0n@feddit.cl 5 points 2 weeks ago

A true friend would organize an intervention.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks 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.

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

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

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

[-] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 2 weeks ago
