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.

      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.

      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 spoon in the OP. Meaning they require just as Steven Tyler of a mouth to successfully misuse as a round soup spoon.

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

      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.
