I hate when i bang my teeth with soup spoons.

WTF?? You don't put the soup spoon in your mouth. Put the side of the spoon to your lips and gently tip the soup into your mouth without slurping.

You're lucky to have two teaspoons. Despite getting three cutlery sets in the last year, we're often down to using a dessert spoon to put the coffee in the cup, then using the handle to stir it.

Classy, eh?

They get hyper from all the caffeine exposure and run away


...with the dishes.

I prefer to use baby spoons/teaspoons for everything (soup/cereal/dessert) but can't get away with in company so I always use a soup spoon for etiquette.

Catch me alone with my soup and its teaspoon all the way!

Why do they breed though, or are they just grown up teaspoons?

you buy a set of cutlery consisting of:
6 knives, 6 forks, 6 dessert spoons, 6 soup spoons and 6 teaspoons.

then you end up a year later with 6 knives, 6 forks, 6 dessert spoons, 27 soup spoons and 2 teaspoons.

WTF?

Yep, tea spoons go the way of socks, you could swear you haven't binned them but they disappear nonetheless!

I actually like a good soup spoon, even opt to eat my cereal with them over a table spoon.

When we were young we had to use our hands as bowls and slurp directly from them without the use of your fancy cutlery.



Luckily my mother always served gazpacho soup so we didn't suffer horrible burns.

I love soup spoons. Use them for cereal too!

I always considered soup spoons a bit posh, and ergo, not to be trusted!!!

Quoted for truth. I would dearly love to know how that happens, but it DOES happen, and not just in my kitchen, apparently.

I digress. Soup in mug, as previously suggested, and all is well.

Who on earth would eat their cereal with a tablespoon, unless they had a giant mouth? :eek:

I don't have a big mouth in spite of what everyone says about me:(
