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.
Looks like a style where you kind of sip off the side all fancy like.
Maybe that’s my problem. I’m a philistine.
Some would say there is no spoon
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.
What do your spoons say about you?
These scream “mentally unstable” and “completely deranged”
Your friends freebase.
I don’t think they do, what with the lack of track lines, but it wouldn’t entirely shock me.
Freebase as in crack as in smoking.
Oh. I thought that was when you cooked it and injected it?
Nope
That’s a soup spoon!
You’re a soup spoon.
NO SOUP FOR YOU!
that seems like a type of ladle
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?
It’s a low mug.
Exactly that.
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.
You don’t stick the whole thing in your mouth?
big spoon currently in my mouth
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.
Restaurants still have soup spoons
Fancy or old fashioned places.
Phew.
Never seen a soup spoon like that in Europe. Everyone has a variant of these though
I’ve lived in the UK since birth and have always had soup spoons.
I thought, “maybe it’s a middle class thing”, but it’s not like they’re expensive and they last forever.

Idk, I never had problems getting the business part of the spoon into my mouth.
Never could get the whole handle too though…
Thar es no spewn.
Thicc
I’ve always known these to be called soup spoons. You use em with soup.
Steven Tyler mouth LOL
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.
Looked a bit something like this but in stainless steel:
