^When I used that recipe before I'd just use a soup spoon and fill it till it started to spill over. Well duh!
Yeah, the point is that in the UK at least a 'soup spoon' as such is really not widely used these days.
Not since about the same time as the dowager checked out of Downton Abbey.
Do you have any handy in Pattaya?
^I must be missing something here, my soup spoons are in the cutlery draw in a divider tray alongside the knives, forks, and tea spoons. Just like in everyone else's cutlery draw.
I have soup spoons, since when did people stop using them?
I cannot remember ever having bought soup spoons. I used to possess a couple of Cathay Pacific soup spoons, they were seldom used and one eventually became a scoop to remove poo from the cage of my son's pet Leopard Gecko. In Thailand I use the Chinese-shaped spoons, which I reckon are ergonomically superior to the traditional Western soup spoon.
Yup - this is what you're missing.
Guess I didn't explain it clearly enough.
And...are you really sure you use a teaspoon, snub?
Maybe Australians use the words 'dessert spoon' and 'soup spoon' interchangeably?
It's only a generation ago that you were using your fingers, after all.
I think most people eat their soup with the common tablespoon.
^ right, tablespoon it is for us commoners, soup spoon it is for them up there
If the day ever comes when I take my belongings out of UK storage then I'll have a look for the other spoon, there used to be two and I am sure the ex would have left the old cutlery for me. There were two knives and forks too. First Class stuff. A friend's wife was a Cathay chief purser....
^And a dessert spoon is just a tea spoon with a long handle. What drugs are you fuckers all taking today and does anyone have some spare?
L>R: Serving spoon, tablespoon, dessert spoon, teaspoon.
Teaspoon: about 5ml
Dessert spoon: 10ml
Tablespoon: 15ml

^ I agree with that HW, apart from I would call your table spoon a dessert spoon and your dessert spoon a long-handled tea spoon. I always thought the table spoon (which you don't seem to have) is the biggest of the lot, apart from the serving spoon of course.
