Who is eating salad with a spoon

[–] VonCesaw@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years 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

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

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years 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 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] JadenSmith@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Oh come on. Everybody knows that there is no spoon.

What in the hell is a soda spoon

[–] Halosheep@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years 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

Where grapefruit spoon?

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago

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

[–] caesaravgvstvs@feddit.de 11 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Which one is the heroin spoon?

I guess all of them?

[–] egoego@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It’s in the name: Serving spoon

[–] Broodjefissa@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

Missing the best spoon, an absinthe spoon.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

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

[–] blargerer@kbin.social 17 points 2 years 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 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (4 children)

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

[–] HeapOfDogs@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years 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.

[–] Coskii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] VonCesaw@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

Some things just aren’t worth over complicating

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

So what about the table spoon?

[–] VonCesaw@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years 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 2 years 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?

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

[–] Crack0n7uesday@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] wabafee@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)
