Who is eating salad with a spoon

[–] VonCesaw@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago (2 children)

It's for serving, not eating

Unless you're in the midwest, where salads (nonlettuce) are eaten with dessert spoons

The spoon type matters, mostly due to size/shape/metal composition Tea and coffee spoons are a thing because they're made smaller to match the requisite cups, soup spoons have a deeper curve to hold more soup, serving and salad spoons are larger so they can be used to serve If you don't care about the difference though, they're virtually all the same

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 13 points 10 months ago

Actually, all of those are ikea spoons. You can tell by how weirdly shaped they are

🤣 Dumbass rich people using a spoon to drink soda ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ🥄🥃

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Honestly, I picked up a few of those on a lark, and they're great to have in the drawer. Anytime I'm trying reach down and get just a little bit out of a deep and mostly empty jar of salsa, honey, or whatever, that soda spoon is the perfect thing. Never used 'em to eat an ice cream float, but lovely for other purposes.

This is why I use a fork with soup.

It may not be practical, but fuck the system and all that I suppose.

[–] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Get the chunks out with the fork and then drink it from the bowl.

[–] JadenSmith@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago

That's exactly what I do!! Honestly creepy how you know this. I'm going to close my curtains...

What in the hell is a soda spoon

[–] Halosheep@lemm.ee 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

"An iced tea spoon, also called a soda spoon or a latte spoon, is a thin spoon with a long handle. It is used primarily in the United States for stirring sugar or other sweeteners into iced tea, which is traditionally served in a tall glass."

From Wikipedia. I guess it's just a long, thin stirring spoon

[–] nick@midwest.social 2 points 10 months ago

I’ll be damned. TMYK

Missing the best spoon, an absinthe spoon.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Well it's the best at making dripped absinthe, arguably it's terrible at doing any other spoon-like actions.

[–] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago

But why would you need anything else when you have absinthe? Also it's the prettiest by a mile.

Which one is the heroin spoon?

I guess all of them?

[–] egoego@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It’s in the name: Serving spoon

[–] Broodjefissa@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

That's also how you ask for it at your dealer: one spoon serving of H pls

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Whichever is biggest so as to hold a greater amount of heroin to melt.

[–] Rosco@sh.itjust.works 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I don't know what's weirder between soda spoon and salad spoons.

[–] blargerer@kbin.social 17 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Soda spoon isn't that weird, think of like a float or parfait for which you'd need a really long handle potentially to get to the bottom of a glass. No idea wtf a salad spoon is though.

[–] bitwaba@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Salad spoon usually comes paired with a salad fork. It's basically half of a "salad tongs" utensil. Basically meant to pick up bunches of salad out of a salad bowl without crushing the lettuce.

[–] Deconceptualist@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

The soda spoon looks basically like a bar spoon to me (for mixing cocktails). Same idea I guess.

[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I have some soda spoons, I never knew they had a name.

[–] HeapOfDogs@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

I have always loved soda spoons! I can't explain why. Plus those shovel like ice cream spoons.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I've been using them to mix chocolate sodas forever and had no idea it was actually a soda spoon until today!

[–] cucumber_sandwich@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What the heck is a chocolate soda?

Say what you will, I will use the soda spoon for most purposes so that I feel like a giant eating with a tiny spoon.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

I just know them as little spoon, spoon spoon, round spoon.

There's also the random big spoon I use for the dog's food that just appeared many years ago. And wooden spoon which makes me feel like chef when using stir through pasta sauce from the jar.

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

How does a salad spoon work? Is it for potato salad?

[–] VonCesaw@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

They're fairly large and they serve regular salad, they're made to not crush delicate parts such as cherry tomatoes or delicate lettuce

[–] phoneymouse@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Some things just aren’t worth over complicating

[–] curiousPJ@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Soda spoon eh? Always thought that was the tea spoon.

So what about the table spoon?

[–] VonCesaw@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Soda spoon is kinda like the spoons they serve in milkshakes/blizzards, Mickey D's still use em

i understand why people came up with most of these except for ice cream spoon and soda spoon

[–] Black616Angel@feddit.de 12 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Soda spoon is probably from a time when you had to mix the sugar.

And have you never seen a person eat ice with a spoon?

How would you eat a banana split without a spoon?

Forgot the curse spoon, it's all bent up with a candle underneath to liquify your drugs for intravenous use.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

No grapefruit spoon?

[–] Dethedrus@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Where is the 'whatever spoon' used for certain festive jellies?!?!
