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.

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

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.
