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.

Squid! How could you! Lol these are soup spoons (or as we call them in New England: Chowder Spoons)
Now, why they only have soup spoons as opposed to having some of a few different kinds…ok well THAT your friends are weird for!
That is shaped like the spoon I consider my best spoon, heathen.
You are entitled to your incorrect spoon opinion.
We need a post for everyone’s favorite spoon. There are clear winners in my drawer, too. One mystery spoon that I’d love someone to ID.
Participation forbidden if your utensils are a set.
that seems like a type of ladle
Looks like a spoon for wax casting. Bring your own spoon next time
Ah, a BYOS friendship
What you got there is a bouillon spoon.

Well they have a drawer full of bullion spoons and no other spoons.
I’m sort of scared, but at least I only have one more night here.
A true friend would organize an intervention.
You’re right, but I’m going to have to find a way to hack into their contacts to find out who their local friends are.
Probably going to have to call in a favor from Russia.
Pretty sure that’s the type you’re supposed to be able to shape and bend with your mind
The one Kadabra and Alakazam has lol
Don’t know about them, I had The Matrix come to mind though.
What do you mean? There is no spoon.
i see you’ve played knifey spoony before
Thar es no spewn.
This ain’t no soup spoon I ever seen, mine are nice and circular instead of whatever mildly oblong abhorrence this is
Looks like a style where you kind of sip off the side all fancy like.
Maybe that’s my problem. I’m a philistine.
i’m confused. it looks like a normal soup spoon. is it unusually large for a soup spoon or is this your first soup spoon?
These are normal soup spoons where I come from.
thats a teaspoon, dude
You put a spoon that big in a sugar bowl and drop it in your tea and you’ll have the kind of crazily sweet iced tea they have in the American South except hot.
if theyre quite large then its a tablespoon
The point is that these are their only sort of spoons.
i feel you. its wack. ive never liked soup spoons. i eat cereal and soup with a teaspoon
I bought cutlery a few years ago and decided to get exactly what I wanted, not what was standard, and I not only ended up with golden-colored, wood handled cutlery that everyone else thought was hideous, I only got fully round spoons, in both teaspoon size and standard soup spoon size.
I loved that cutlery. My old roommate… gratefully tolerates it. I just have a giant mouth and never realized it could be an issue, but even the small ones were surprisingly unpopular
I have always done the same, actually.
Here’s a wild thought: You can choose to pick up only a little bit of sugar. No one’s forcing you to fill up the whole spoon like a digger on a JCB lol.
Or if you were Bob “17 sugars with me tea” Mortimer.
How did you get it that wrong? Firstly, it’s not “a”, there’s several. Secondly, they’re tablespoons.
You somehow managed to be more wrong than OP, which is unbelievable.
you really got me there man! I mean I’ve met some pretty smart and cool people in my travels but holy fuck you made me look like a complete idiot and I am absolutely in awe of you.
Those are regular spoons, not soup spoons. https://duckduckgo.com/?t=h_&q=soup+spoons&iax=images&ia=images
That’s a tablespoon boss.
Probably because they aren’t aware or just don’t care about the difference
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.
I love drinking my MTN Dew with a soda spoon
What in holy hell is a salad spoon
It’s for directly consuming the mug o’ ranch we traditionally serve with a small plate of garnish weeds in the US.
I suppose that this is the basic spoon set that excludes things like the grapefruit spoon.
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.
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.
Those are tea spoons. R u caveman?
They’re teaspoons for Jeff Goldblum when he’s turning into The Fly.
Chinese soup spoon > european soup spoon
Wonder how long they were using chopsticks for their soup before they angrily invented the spoon
Look at this uncultured peasent, can’t tell it’s soup spoon from its dessert spoon! *Billionaire laugh*
