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.
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.
