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.

These are normal soup spoons where I come from.
Probably because they aren't aware or just don't care about the difference
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.
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 love drinking my MTN Dew with a soda 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.
thats a teaspoon, dude
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.
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
is this your spoon? are you the friend in OPs post?
Nah, there’s no wood paneling!
I have always done the same, actually.
Then eat soup or eat somewhere else?
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.
That's a tablespoon boss.
Those are regular spoons, not soup spoons. https://duckduckgo.com/?t=h_&q=soup+spoons&iax=images&ia=images
You might want to tell the person selling them:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/1128290220/lustreware-stainless-soups-spoon-set-of
And all the other sites that show the same thing when you search "lustreware soup spoon" for that matter.
Those are tea spoons. R u caveman?
They're teaspoons for Jeff Goldblum when he's turning into The Fly.
