      It’s for serving, not eating

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

        But there’s already a serving spoon. Do we use both?

        Too confusing, I’m gonna keep eating soup with my bare hands.

          Serving spoon is for other things

          Salad spoon is specifically for salads

          Fuck you, that’s why

    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

      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.

        I do the same… I have a few of these and had no idea they were called “soda spoon”. I called them “long spoon” because I didn’t know the name.

        This is also the perfect thing for these bottles of sauce that are too deep for a regular tea spoon, and the mouth of the bottle is too narrow for a table spoon, this works really well.

    This is why I use a fork with soup.

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

      “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

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

      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.

        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.

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

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

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