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.

Probably because they aren’t aware or just don’t care about the difference

It’s for directly consuming the mug o’ ranch we traditionally serve with a small plate of garnish weeds in the US.

No joke, I once sat down at a restaurant with an Austrian exchange student who; when a somewhat-larger-than-usual ramekin of ranch was placed in front of him, before the rest of his meal came out; proceeded to unwrap a straw, stick it in the ranch, and take a drink.

All I could do is watch as this unfolded before me.

Some soup spoons are indeed oblong like a tablespoon. But because there isn’t anything in that etsy photo above to provide context, you might miss that the heads of those spoons are most likely much larger than that of a tablespoon. Sure, they’re just as oval-shaped as what OP expects, but they’re also just as wide as the round spoon in the OP. Meaning they require just as Steven Tyler of a mouth to successfully misuse as a round soup spoon.

I suppose that this is the basic spoon set that excludes things like the grapefruit spoon.

Also ear spoons.

That would be why I asked if it’s their first one. They look different in different places and not everyone knows they even exist.

Now that I realize I’ve never seen an ice cream spoon before, I’m kind of sad

I used to have one and never knew what it was. I thought it was weird it had a flat edge, figured it was broken.
