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
Now that I realize I’ve never seen an ice cream spoon before, I’m kind of sad
I suppose that this is the basic spoon set that excludes things like the grapefruit spoon.
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.
